wood pellet q

[EmmyMD]

my mare is so rank so thinking about moving her off shavings.

My friend swears that the fuel pellets are the same as the bedding ones but with less vat? obviously you can't have them delivered to a yard, but i have a lock up at the back of my house. Is this actually the case?! don't want to do it and then find out they aren't!

I tried to find out the answer to this and was told that they are pretty much the same thing except that the fuel pellets may have wood that could be unsafe to horses included whilst the horsey pellets don't....however I was told this by a manufacturer so I don't know if it as was just a way of scaring me into buying the horsey ones......I'm far too chicken when it comes to the nags to break the rules! We get 10kg bags for about £3.50 from local supplier depending on how many we order.....I do love them tho....turned a horse who averaged about 2 barrel loads a day of mucky straw into a half a barrow a day horse.....I do mix in a bag of shaving every now and again for good luck.
