Why use Bed-Down for your horse?

What makes Bed-Down different from other horse bedding brands?

UNIQUE EASYBREATHE^™ DUST EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGY

Why is EASYBREATHE^™ essential for your horse?

REVOLUTIONARY DUST-LOCK TECHNOLOGY

Uniquely found in Excel Plus bales 
Dust in the stable can be generated by inadequately dust extracted bedding, daily wear and tear on any bedding material and dust brought in by you and your horse. Microcote^™ is our patented SECRET ingredient designed to reduce airborne dust particles by locking up dust after the dust extraction process helping to prevent dust and spores being inhaled by your horse.  

Why use Bed-Down Excel Plus?

Because prevention is better than cure. Excel Plus has been designed to:

• Aid horses with or who are susceptible to respiratory issues such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and ‘heaves’ The disease is similar to asthma in humans and is a common reason for some horses persistent coughing.
• Also suitable for horses who compete at a high or strenuous level such as racing, endurance, driving, showjumping and eventing where the horses respiratory health is paramount. 
• Better still Microcote™ is completely safe for your horse.

SPRING BACK TECHNOLOGY
