Waste not, want not

Watching your bedding get dumped on the muck heap can feel a little like throwing money down the drain and with cost saving a high priority for all horse owners this winter, choosing a product which results in as little waste as possible is a more economical, and less soul destroying, option.

Absorbency is the key to reducing the quantity of bedding you remove on a daily basis. The more absorbent, the smaller the wet patch – which means less to take out, and more stays in your stable! It is important to consider this when you are choosing products as a bale of bedding which appears to be cheaper in price may not be as absorbent and may not last as long.

In addition to keeping your stable stocked up, less waste will also reduce the size of your muck heap and this in itself can save you hundreds of pounds.

Nedz Pro is made from top quality rape straw that has been chopped to form short, highly absorbent fibres and results in a comfortable, yet stable base, for your horse. As an added benefit the dust extracted straw is treated with an exclusive Natural Nedz formula containing Manuka and Cade Oil, which provides a hygienic and safe environment for you and your horse. 

Leading international riders choose Nedz Pro, including Geoff Billington, Stephanie Croxford and Mary King. “Nedz Pro bedding is my favourite because it offers me and my grooms an easy, fast method of mucking out,” Mary says. “I always ensure my bedding is highly absorbent as this reduces the amount of wasted bedding you have to throw away and also ensures harmful ammonia levels are kept to a minimum.”
