Stay dry this autumn

--> The long days of summer are certainly getting shorter, and the cool weather of autumn will soon arrive. With shorter days and colder conditions, stabling time naturally increases throughout the autumn season, making it important to ensure your choice of bedding not only welcomes your horse but also cares for him!

Stabling at any time of year can pose challenges, and as time spent in the stable goes up – as it starts to do from autumn – the exposure to wet bedding can also increase. Wet bedding not only causes saturation of the foot but leads to increased levels of ammonia in the stable which can damage the horn and weaken the outer layer of the horse’s hoof.

Put your best hoof forward this season

-->

With the competition season now in full swing, horse owners are keen to ensure their equines are ready to step into the ring and put the hard work and training of the winter months into practice. However, regardless of the fact we are advancing towards summer, stabling at any time of year can pose challenges including saturation and weakening of the horse’s hooves in wet and dirty bedding

Is your stable a safe haven?

We keep our own bedding clean and fresh, and our horses’ stables should be no different! Many of the same issues that cause humans irritation also adversely affect our equine partners, so dust, flies, smells and bugs are a definite no-no in their environment. Your equine’s stable should be a safe haven where he can rest, recuperate and get ready for an exciting spring season. 

Nedz bedding boasts all of the key ingredients required to help create a ‘safe haven’ stable: 
 

• Both Nedz Original and Nedz Pro go through a rigorous dust extraction process, creating a virtually dust-free environment for your horse whilst stabled.
• High levels of absorbency means Nedz chopped straw soaks up urine, which in turn reduces the levels of ammonia in the environment. The result is a cleaner, fresher and more hygienic stable.
• Both Nedz Original and Nedz Pro utilise the exclusive Natural Nedz formula - a unique blend of Manuka, Cade Oil and Aloe Vera. Natural Nedz offers anti-bacterial, antiseptic, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-insecticidal properties. This organic formulation improves hygiene by helping reduce bacteria and viruses spread by insects. Cade Oil discourages insects from entering the environment, while the stable remains fresh smelling.
• Natural Nedz also features Silver. Silver has been shown to help support the reduction of bacteria, viruses and fungi. When used in the stable, silver has been seen to help support the prevention of harmful virus-spreading bacteria and other pathogens whilst supporting the equine’s health and immunity.

Give Nedz the nod to ensure your stable is a safe haven this spring! Nedz Original and Nedz Pro are priced between £6.50 - £8.50 per 20kg bale. For more information about Nedz visit www.nedz.co.uk or tel: 01254 677 762.

Hygiene is paramount for horses in recovery

When your horse or pony suffers from an illness or has an operation it can be incredibly stressful. Advances in veterinary medicine have meant that in many instances our equines pull through an array of different health problems and go on to make a full recovery. However the aftercare of an unwell equine, whatever condition suffered, is absolutely key to their recovery to health; and with that, hygiene of the stable is paramount. 


After surgery, or when recovering from an illness such as a virus, your horse or pony may have a period of enforced box rest. For optimum recuperation, it is important that the stable environment is both clean and relaxing in order to promote effective recovery and in order to limit the risk of secondary infections.

Nedz bedding is ideal for the recovering equine as the natural product allows your stable to remain clean and fresh, both vital elements in the protection of your four-legged friend. Nedz Original and Nedz Pro offer a supportive and dust-free composition of chopped straw, which allows our equine patients to stand comfortably on a stable base that provides much needed support.

The absorbent, dust-extracted bedding provides your horse with an environment, which is low in ammonia and dust spores helping to protect respiratory health, vital when spending long periods of time in the stable.

Nedz Original and Nedz Pro both contain an exclusive Natural Nedz formula, containing Manuka and Cade Oil, which provides an extra organic benefit to the bedding, making it anti-bacterial, antiseptic, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic. This essential inclusion protects the skin and minimises the risk of hygiene issues and the unique odour discourages insects and bugs allowing your horse to rest, relax and recover in peace his stable.

Nedz Original and Nedz Pro are available in 20kg bales, priced between £7 - £8.50. For more information about how Nedz can benefit your horse visit our website at www.nedz.co.uk or to find your nearest stockist tel: 01254 677 762.
