Horse bedding is made from wood shavings. Soft woods are often used to create the shavings for the bedding. Horse shavings are offered by the bag or can also be purchased in bulk.

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.


How much does horse bedding cost?

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.
