An Advance for Nedz suffering from laminitis

Nedz Advance has revolutionised the way many people bed their horses – offering a super absorbent, easy to muck out and highly biodegradable alternative to conventional bedding. As we come in to the spring season, whilst many horses are spending less time in the stable, for horses and ponies suffering from laminitis stabled time is often increased so ensuring their environment is as comfortable and healthy as possible is vital in the care of this debilitating condition.

Nedz Advance is manufactured using a unique process that steams chopped straw to make it unpalatable before compressing it in to pellets. These pellets break down to form a soft, cushioned and extremely absorbent base for your horse or pony to be stabled on.

Offering a supportive, clean and hygienic bedding alternative ensures that horses and ponies suffering from laminitis, or related issues, can remain comfortable and supported even when stabled for long periods.

Barefoot trimmer, Angela Corner has found Nedz Advance to be the most effective solution on the market. “As a barefoot trimmer I’m always on the lookout for the most suitable bedding for barefoot horses – both my own and my clients. Nedz Advance is the best bedding I’ve found. The unrivalled absorbency means that when horses are stabled their feet do not get damp by standing in wet bedding, which is vital for developing tough feet.”

“Nedz Advance also provides the comfort and support for hooves required by horses transitioning from shod to barefoot and would be particularly beneficial for horses recovering from laminitis and navicular syndrome,” she states. “And it’s a doddle to muck out too, leaving more time for the important stuff like riding! For barefoot horses there is nothing better on the market than Nedz Advance.”

Stephanie Croxford keeps us up to date...

Progress with Mr P's schooling this month has been affected by the poor weather as we only have an outdoor school. However Mr P is firing on all cylinders and ready for the competition season to start. He is out this weekend for a run out at a local show and to get back into the swing of things after the winter.

His first proper show is going to be Myerscough Permier League on the 13 and 14 March.  He is entered into the grand Prix Kur as part of the Gala evening on the Saturday night and then the Grand Prix Qualifer on the Sunday morning.

We have found Nedz Pro to be excellent and all the horses have managed the transition on to it very well. It has made the barn less dusty than conventional shavings and has been very easy to muck out and keep the beds clean.

You like to create a stable you would happily dive in to yourself!

Nedz Pro

Time is of the essence for you – you lead a hectic life and like to spend what free time you have focusing on enjoyment. You have high aspirations in your riding and practicality is a main priority, however you do have a soft side and like to maintain comfort levels. You like your stable to look welcoming, smart and tidy but don’t want to spend hours maintaining it.

Nedz Advance

You like to be in touch with the latest innovations in life and tend to be quite minimalist in your style. Practicality is a very important aspect of the way you run your everyday life and you like things to be functional, cost effective and easy to use. Mucking out is more of a chore and you would far rather spend your time riding and doing more important tasks – it is simply a necessary part of horse ownership and whilst it needs to be clean and hygienic, spending hours presenting it is not a priority.

Nedz Pro has had a make-over!

Our leading product Nedz Pro has had a face lift! From early 2010 Nedz Pro will come in this brand new packaging so look out for it at your local stockist. Don't worry though - nothing else about the popular product has changed!

Bed like a Pro!

Competition horses need precise care from top to tail, from choosing the correct nutritional balance to creating the healthiest environment possible in the stable. For this reason many professionals use Nedz Pro, bedding designed to meet the needs of professionals and amateurs alike providing a host of benefits targeted specifically at the busy competition rider.

Made from Oil Seed Rape Straw, Nedz Pro offers a super absorbent alternative to shavings whilst combining all the benefits of quick rotting, easy to muck out, cosy, chopped straw!

Due to its highly absorbent properties Nedz Pro only requires a full muck out once a week, creating a sturdy, comfortable base for your horse or pony to bed on. In addition, the unique Natural Nedz formula that is used in the bedding contains Manuka Oil and Aloe Vera to offer a safe, natural and organic environment for your horse that reduces ammonia levels and helps with horses suffering from respiratory and skin problems. This entirely natural formula will help defend against harmful bacteria, particularly useful for travelling horses and those with weaker immune systems more susceptible to picking up viruses and infections. The rigorous dust extraction process keeps mould spores to an absolute minimum creating a safe environment for both you and your horse.

Quick and easy to muck out Nedz Pro is cost effective, with just 4-6 bales being needed for initial start up, and requires on average one bale per week to top up. Nedz Pro is highly biodegradable, rotting down within two to three months and can safely be spread as natural fertiliser – saving on muck heap removal!

Nedz Pro is the favoured bedding of top international show jumper Geoff Billington, “Nedz Pro is really easy to work with, it decomposes well so you don’t have to get rid of it and the horses don’t eat it.” Coated with a natural bitter tasting ingredient to prevent greedy horses and ponies from snacking on it, Nedz Pro is readily available and comes in 20kg bags. RRP £6 - £7.50 per bag. For more information about Nedz products, tel: (01772) 877 096 or visit www.nedz.co.uk
