With many added benefits offered compared to traditional shavings or straw, customers using wood pellets are reporting a reduction in bedding consumption of up to 50%.

"I've found the pellets to be highly absorbent which reduces the amount of bedding I use and makes mucking out quicker and easier"  Stewart Crawford, 3 Day Eventer, Co.Antrim


WHY OPT FOR WOOD PELLETS?

1. Safety and Comfort
Wood pellets.....
- are much more absorbent than straw or shavings as they have such a low moisture content and
  are made of soft wood fibre.
- Quickly absorb the moisture and odour of urine and provide a healthy and deodorised environment
   for your horse
- Expand up to three time their size when dampened, providing a soft comfortable 'cushion like' bed
- Provide a sterile bedding as they are heated to high temperatures during production
- Are screened prior to delivery to reduce dust
- Are easy to transport and are readily available

2. Environmentally Friendly
Wood pellets.....
- are bio-degradable
- rot down quickly and reduces much heap area by up to 50%
- can be spread on the land as fertilizer
- are 100% natural product with no chemicals, glues or toxins
- save you 30-50% on labour and transport costs as the bedding needs changed less often
- are compost-able and therefore there is less waste and disposal costs
- require less space for storage


HOW DO I USE WOOD PELLETS?

- depending on stable size between 6 and 10 bags are required to lay the initial bed
- to start a new bed, spead the pellets across the stable floor and use a hose to dampen them until
  they begin to break down and fluff up
- dry pellets can be mixed with wet ones and the pellets will only need removed occasionally when
  they become completely saturated
- top up an existing bed you can mix dry pellets into the bed to boost the absorbent capacity. 
  Wood pellets will soak up urine and burst into a clean new bed.  You can decide where to place
  the new pellets within the stable depending on where the horse prefers to 'go'.
- the amount of time you spend cleaning the stable will be greatly reduced due to the high absorption
  rate of the pellets
- a complete clean out of stable will only be required every few months
