Stall bedding basics

The pros and cons of different materials

Most of us don’t give much thought to our stall bedding, but it’s a topic worth revisiting from time to time–and here’s why!

In this edition of EQUUS Extra, we explore the advantages and disadvantages of different types of stall bedding, including some you might never have heard of (shives, anyone?). From time-tested regional favorites to wood product caveats to bedding for better breathing, there’s a lot to consider. And when to comes to the smart disposal of soiled stall bedding, our experts have you covered there, too. So dig in!
