If you have a messy horse, choosing equine bedding that’s absorbent, robust and supportive makes a real difference. Bed-Down offers bedding to suit your horse.
If you have a messy horse, you’ll know all too well how quickly clean, fresh bedding can become wet, scattered and difficult to manage. Horses that move around frequently, roll or box-walk can be particularly challenging to muck out.
One equine bedding product worth considering for messy horses is Bed-Down Rapasorb, a chopped rape straw bedding designed to tackle wet stable conditions. Its impressive absorbency comes from a unique chopping process that exposes the straw’s highly absorbent inner pith.
For messy horses, absorbency is only part of the equation. Rapasorb is an equine bedding which creates a firm, secure bed that can stand up well to horses that move around a lot or that tend to disturb their bedding. Its supportive base helps provide a comfortable place to rest, even when your horse is particularly active in the stable.
As mentioned in one of our other blog posts this month, wet equine bedding can also contribute to ammonia build-up, creating unpleasant odours and potentially affecting your horse’s respiratory health. By absorbing moisture effectively, Rapasorb helps manage wet patches, while its light citrus fragrance keeps the stable smelling fresher.
If you’d prefer a blend of materials, Bed-Down’s Excel equine bedding is well worth trying. Made from a 50/50 mix of chopped straw and softwood shavings, it combines the benefits of both materials. Its chopped straw allows moisture to drain beneath the surface, while the absorbent shavings help contain wetness in a smaller area. Excel’s Spring Back technology provides a springy, supportive bed, and its lemon fragrance helps keep the stable smelling fresh.
Ultimately, the best bedding for a messy horse depends on their individual habits and your stable management routine. If you’re dealing with persistent wet patches, disturbed bedding or frequent top-ups, choosing an equine bedding designed for absorbency and robustness could help make mucking out easier and keep your horse’s bed comfortable for longer.
