Nedz for when the nights draw in!

It’s been a wonderful summer of al-fresco rides, sunny show days and lazy walks to the field. The next phase on the equine calendar is still just as picturesque, but autumn does bring with it the transition from summer turnout to more stable time. 

Your equine’s stable environment will become a bigger part of his life over the next few months, so it’s important to ensure that it provides the highest possible levels of comfort and cleanliness.

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

Bedding that performs as well as you do!

With the 2015 competition season now open for business, ensuring your equine is in ‘tip-top’ condition, is the key to success! If you were a racing driver you’d tune your car to perfection; as a rider, you need to think the same way about your horse’s preparation and health!

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.

Top performers need top bedding!

The 2015 competition season is upon us, and top performers need top bedding. Practice in the ring makes up a couple of hours a day, but rest and recovery accounts for a far larger proportion of time, and requires a high quality environment to maintain condition and wellbeing.

We know how important sleep and rest is for our own health, and horses are no different. Research suggests that if a horse is deprived of good quality sleep for several weeks, his behaviour could begin to change and he may be more likely to spook, become distracted and lack in performance. As any rider - competitive or amateur - will appreciate, this means a well-rested horse is likely to be happier and healthier. Exceptionally absorbent and comfortable, chopped rape straw bedding Nedz Pro provides the perfect foundation for a good nights sleep in order to ensure your equine gets the quality rest he needs!

As well as providing comfort, Nedz Pro goes through a rigorous dust extraction process ahead of being packaged, to keep dust, mould and spores to an absolute minimum. We all know how important the area that we sleep in is for ourselves and this should be no different for your horse. By utilising an exclusive organic Natural Nedz formula containing Manuka Oil, Aloe Vera and Silver, Nedz Pro reduces ammonia levels and helps support the defence against harmful bacteria to provide a soothing and safe stable zone.

Time is always an issue and by only requiring a full muck out once a week, Nedz Pro is the ideal solution for time-strapped riders. The quick-rotting raw material means muck heaps are kept to a minimum and with tightly compacted 20kg bales – a little goes a long way! There are many jigsaw pieces needed to be put in place to support the performance horse but getting the foundations, such as bedding, is a critical step when you’ve got your eyes on 2015 prizes!

 

Nedz Pro is priced between £6.50 - £8 per bale. For more information about Nedz products, tel: (01772) 877 096 or visit www.nedz.co.uk

Out with the old, in with the Nedz

The New Year brings resolutions for improved health, tidiness and efficiency – not just at home, but at the stables too. Nedz Pro and Original both offer a super absorbent alternative to shavings whilst combining all the benefits of quick rotting, easy to muck out, cosy, chopped straw. By going “out with the old, in with the Nedz” horse owners can immediately tick off all three goals, giving 2015 a super successful start!

New Year aim no. 1: Health

The unique Natural Nedz formula in Nedz bedding contains Manuka Oil, Silver and Aloe Vera to offer a safe, natural and organic environment that helps reduce ammonia levels and supports healthy skin and a strong immune system. Natural Nedz helps defend against harmful bacteria, particularly useful for travelling horses and those with weaker immune systems, while the addition of Cade Oil maintains a fresh aroma, giving 2015 a fresh start in every sense!

New Year aim no.2: Tidiness

Nedz products go through a rigorous dust extraction process ahead of being packaged, to keep dust, mould and spores to an absolute minimum and creating a virtually dust-free environment for both you and your horse. Nedz bedding is easy to muck out and has minimal waste, and, thanks to its natural composition and quick-rotting properties, muck heaps remain a controllable size.

New Year aim no. 3: Efficiency

Both Nedz Original and Nedz Pro are quick and easy to muck out, however the exceptional absorbency of Nedz Pro means that a full muck out is only necessary once a week. This saves you time and effort during the colder months on a daily basis giving you more scope to ride and have fun! With around 4-6 bales being needed for initial start up and on average just one bale per week to top up, Nedz bedding is both time and cost efficient!

Nedz Pro and Nedz Original come in tightly packed 20kg bales, costing between £6.50 - £8 per bale. Running a healthy, tidy stable has never been easier thanks to Nedz. For more information visit www.nedz.co.uk or call 01254 677 762.
