Yes you can use sawdust provided it is made of pure pine sawdust. It should be noted that as it says in it's name sawdust is dusty and can cause respiratory problems in horses.

How much bedding does a horse need?
The most common reason to use bedding in a horse stable is to absorb urine. It is unhealthy for a horse if its enclosure stays damp. The bedding will absorb the urine and then you can scoop it up along with any fecal material. Then you replace the amount of bedding you've picked up with fresh bedding. There are many different kinds of bedding available and they all do the job to varying degrees. Check with other horse owners in your area to see what they're using and why. Then decide what is best for your horse.
Is a sand or sawdust stable better for seedy toe?
Sand 100%! Never use sawdust! Sawdust can severely damage a horse's lungs! And if the horse is pregnant, It can also damage the baby before it is even born! sand is almost just as bad but at the same time not nearly as bad. If I were you, I would use alfalfa, and lots of it. A woman I used to work for would only use that in her stalls, and when we would muck them, she would have us put more in there. She would always say, "I want to be able to eat off those stall floors." That is what I suggest for you and your horse.

How do you break a bad habit when my horse eats straw instead of hay?
The horse is eating the straw because it is either hungry or bored. A horse should have hay available at all times to prevent bad behaviours, ulcers, and colic. You can use a slow feed hay net to accomplish this. Another note is that straw is not necessarily the best bedding for horses it may benefit the horse to have it's bedding switched to pine shavings or even large particle sawdust (small particle sawdust is bad for them).
