Earth & Animal-Friendly Bedding

Horses that are kept indoors need a fluffy, absorbent bed to keep them dry and warm.

There are a number of options available on the market, but when buying something in such large quantities it is important to ensure they are as sustain-ably and renewably sourced as possible.

Follow Their Lead

The UK leads the pack in this department with a number of recycled (& recyclable), renewable and sustainable options. But they can be found in the US and Australia too, the more we support responsibly sourced and managed companies, the further their reach will grow.
