Arbor Wood & Slumber Premium Wood Shavings Horse Bedding

Provide your horse with the ultimate in clean, supportive stabling with Arbor Wood & Slumber Premium Wood Shavings. Engineered specifically for performance horses, sensitive equines, and busy yards, this high-grade equine bedding is crafted from 100% kiln-dried virgin softwood to deliver superior moisture control, plush cushioning, and advanced airway protection.

Respiratory comfort is essential in the stable environment. Arbor Wood & Slumber shavings undergo a comprehensive multi-stage dust-extraction process, eliminating airborne dust spores and fine particulates that trigger equine coughs, allergies, and Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO/COPD). The carefully graded flake profile blends large, buoyant curls for supportive, stable bed banks with absorbent medium flakes that lock away wetness and neutralise ammonia at the base. Naturally bright, clean, and pine-fresh, it creates an inviting, hygienic stall bed that cuts down daily mucking-out time.

🐴 Why Choose Arbor Wood & Slumber Bedding?

📋 Stable Management & Bedding Guide

Recommended Bed Setup & Maintenance:

• Initial Bedding (Standard 12ft × 12ft Stable): Spread 4 to 6 bales to establish a deep, plush bed with generous, firm perimeter banks.
• Weekly Maintenance: Add 1 to 2 bales per week to replace removed wet spots and maintain supportive bedding depth.

Critical Yard Protocols:

1. Spot-Check Wet Patches: The absorbent base flakes bind wetness into tight, contained clumps—lift these out daily to keep the top layer completely dry.
2. Combine with Rubber Matting: On rubber-matted floors, a lighter base of 2 to 3 bales with thick back and side banks provides excellent comfort while reducing weekly disposal volume.
3. Clean Storage: Bales are packed in heavy-duty polythene wrapping, making them weather-resistant for clean stacking inside tack rooms, feed sheds, or under lean-to covers.
4. ⭐ Top Tip: When establishing your banks, tamp the shavings down firmly with the back of a shavings fork. Arbor Wood & Slumber’s curled flakes interlock tightly, creating a stable barrier that stops horses from kicking bedding into wall corners!
