Why use recycled-cardboard horse bedding? Largely because of the great benefit to horses, it’s Green, and quite practical for the owner. In our individual attempts to consistently take the high road remaining conscious of our actions and how we affect one another, recycled-cardboard horse bedding and animal bedding is a win-win-win.

There are multifarious advantages of horse bedding and your horse receives them all. Horse bedding supports overall health, cleanliness, and comfort. The same holds for animal bedding meant for pets and other farm animals as well.

We have found the greatest health benefit with horse bedding to be the impact on the respiratory system. Actually, because our recycled cardboard is dust-free you and those in contact with the horse will experience respiratory relief as well. A conservative fifty percent estimate indicates British horses experience respiratory issues in good part because of the dust and mould spores found in traditional bedding materials of wood shavings and straw.

If your horse is affected by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (C.O.P.D.) or displays symptoms of coughing, discharge of mucus from the nasal passages, labored breathing, or sluggishness, trying recycled-cardboard horse bedding would be a prudent decision.

The use of recycled-cardboard horse bedding also makes cleaning the stall a much easier and more pleasant task. Water seeks its own level, as does horse urine. This being so, the liquid flows from the top layers of the horse bedding to the bottom leaving the upper-most layers of the horse bedding dry and virtually odour free.

To muck out the stable, throw the top layer of dry horse bedding up onto the walls until you reach the saturated layer. This layer needs to be removed and bits of food, hay, and the like that get stuck in here need to be taken out. To freshen the stable, add a bit of new horse bedding to the floor. You would need about one or two bales of new horse bedding per stable each week.

What shall you do with the collected muck? The used horse bedding decomposes at a greater rate than wood shavings or straw. Depending upon your property, you may want to till it into the soil where it will complete breaking down or use it as mulch. The Green aspect of our horse and animal bedding material is an added bonus to an almost perfect product further reducing the carbon hoof print.

Another point worth mentioning is that the recycled-cardboard in the horse and animal bedding passes through high levels of quality check for cleanliness and consistency of end product. The cardboard cutting process leaves the bedding in irregular shapes trapping air leaving the bed warm and comfortable.

Horse bedding can easily be laid from the bale onto the floor. It seldom sticks to the horses or to your clothing, or blankets. Because it is so dry, when a horse finds a piece in its mouth they spit it out. Last but certainly not least, rats and rabbits love animal bedding; and it’s been shown to almost eliminate feather plucking in poultry.

This is our individual attempt to take the high road remaining conscious of our actions and how we affect one another. Come, be a part of the movement.
