To maintain the health, comfort and stable environment of competition horses, it is crucial to choose appropriate equine bedding, such as Excel or Excel Plus.
These horses often spend extended periods indoors, making the choice of bedding more than just a matter of preference, but a vital part of their overall care. That’s where Excel and Excel Plus equine bedding truly come into their own.
Designed specifically with high-performance horses in mind, Excel equine bedding is a carefully balanced mix of chopped straw and softwood shavings, bringing together the best qualities of both materials. This combination spreads further than pure shavings, making it a highly economical option in the long run. The straw component is processed to be more manageable and hygienic than traditional long straw, reducing the risk of dust and mould which can impact respiratory health.
What sets Excel apart is its responsive, springy texture, which offers outstanding joint support. This cushioning effect encourages horses to lie down more readily, helping them gain the essential rest they need to recover from demanding training or competition schedules. Added to this is a light lemon scent that helps maintain a pleasant atmosphere in the stable, while discouraging bed eating and deterring flies.
Excel equine bedding is thoroughly dust-extracted using our EASY BREATHE™ method, making it a solid choice for horses with sensitive respiratory systems. And in fact Excel Plus takes this one step further. In addition to all the proven benefits of Excel, Excel Plus incorporates MICROCOTE™, a patented technology that actively traps dust particles, even those introduced from outside sources. This innovation helps to maintain cleaner, clearer air within the stable.
Excel Plus also includes eucalyptus oil, which is well known for its natural ability to support clear breathing by helping reduce mucus. Its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties further support a hygienic environment, while the scent deters horses from nibbling at the bedding and leaves stables smelling fresh and clean.
Whether your horse is already competing or being prepared for future events, Excel and Excel Plus is each an ideal equine bedding for competition horses, supporting recovery, respiratory health and overall wellbeing – because your horse deserves the very best.
