FAQs

How often should I muck out?

Remove droppings daily and wet patches as needed. Perform a deep clean of the stable every 6-8 weeks, depending on usage.

How much Easibed do I need for my stable?

The amount depends on the stable size and the desired bed depth. As a general guide, allow 6-8 inches of depth initially. Calculate the floor area and order sufficient bags.

Is Easibed suitable for horses with allergies?

Easibed is generally suitable, as it is dust-free. However, monitor your horse for any reactions. If a reaction occurs, discontinue use and consult a vet.

How do I store Easibed?

Store bags in a dry, covered area to prevent moisture absorption and maintain the quality of the bedding.

Can I compost Easibed?

Yes, Easibed can be composted. Ensure all manure is composted properly. This produces a rich, beneficial compost for gardens.

How does Easibed compare to traditional bedding?

Easibed is dust-free and highly absorbent, which often translates to lower overall bedding costs. This can also result in time savings when mucking out, and promotes a healthier environment.

What is Easibed made from?

Easibed is made from 100% recycled, clean white wood fibre.

Troubleshooting

Bedding is too dusty.

Ensure you are using the correct product and check for any moisture that may be causing dust. Ensure the bedding is not too dry, and dampen it slightly if needed.

Bedding is not absorbing urine effectively.

Ensure sufficient initial depth of bedding. Check for wet patches and remove them, replacing with fresh bedding. Ensure that the bed is level.

Horse is pawing at the bedding excessively.

Check if the bedding depth is sufficient. If the horse is pawing to get to the floor, add more bedding. Consider if there is another issue causing the horse to paw.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Prepare the Stable: Clean the stable thoroughly before adding the bedding.

  3. Level the Bed: Ensure the bed is level and covers the entire floor area.

Care
