The cost of wood shavings will vary according to where you live, what brand you prefer, and how much you buy at one time.
Only pine should be used for horse shavings, and these are typically the lowest in price. You can buy them by the 'bag' or 'bale' for anywhere from $2.00 (in bulk buy form) or up to $12.00 per bag/ bale at the feed store.
You can buy them by the cubic yard from mills and this will likely be the most cost effective method, but you must have storage available to house the bulk shavings as they will not be bagged or baled up.

Cost for wood shavings for horses?
The cost of shavings for horses can vary greatly depending on where you live and how they come packaged. There are a couple of ways to buy shavings. Packaged in 8 or 12 cubic feet packages, these are easy and convenient for small 1 or 2 horse barns. The cost on shavings will cost a little more but may be the only option if you don't have much room for storage. The price can be very different. Relatives of mine pay $3 per 12 cubic packages. Sometimes the supplier can give you a break if you buy large quantites at one time. Where I live 12 cubic packages cost from $7 to $10 per package. For bigger horse operations bulk is the only way to go. But you have to put out a large sum of money all at one time. A large truck and trailer load of shavings can cost upwards of $1000 per load. Bulk is always preferred for larger stables but you must have a storage shed for loads this big. The shavings must be kept dry and away from strong winds or your money will blow away. Most larger stables and barns usually have a special bedding shed or a place in their larger barn. This will keep them dry and also they are closer to the stalls and cuts down the 'back and forth' with the wheelbarrow. The best thing to do is call around and check prices in several different places. Doing your homework will pay off in the end when you know your getting the best price for your shavings.
