Best Answer

The cost of horse bedding will vary considerably depending on the type of bedding and your location. Straw is one of the least expensive types but it is dusty and horses may eat it. A 40-50 pound bale of bedding straw typically goes for $4 or more. Sawdust, which should almost never be used as bedding can be free to if you can haul it away from lumber mills, or you may have to pay for it, expect it to cost about the same as straw for a 40pound bag. Shavings are most commonly used and come in bags, this may cost from $6 a bag and up. Pelleted bedding is the best and usually most expensive option at $7 and up for a 40 pound bag.Another option is shredded paper, which can be Eco friendly and cost effective. If you can get ahold of enough newspaper or plain white paper and have it shredded into little 'confetti' style pieces then you can basically have free horse bedding. Always remember that all wood products used for horse bedding should be made strictly from Pine/Fir type woods as anything else can cause problems.
