Every bed deserves a Silver lining!
Chopped straw bedding products, Nedz Original and Nedz Pro are now even better thanks to the addition of a little touch of silver to their organic Natural Nedz formula!

When used in the stable, silver has been seen to help kill harmful virus-spreading bacteria and other pathogens and the natural healing powers assist in supporting the equine’s health and immunity – ideal for the winter months.
Natural Nedz has been formulated exclusively for Nedz so horse owners can rest assured that they are providing bedding which offers multiple benefits to the equine.

Cleanliness Counts!
We all know that keeping correct hygiene is important for our own health, but what about our horses and ponies? With the autumn and winter months on the horizon our equines are soon to be spending much more time in their stables which means it is important to ensure that their living space is as dust free and hygienic as possible.
Good stable hygiene can go a long way to reducing many equine illnesses and conditions such as respiratory issues, immune problems or dermatological difficulties. In addition, ammonia, found in urine, can often compromise the horses’ respiratory and immune system, not to mention weakening our equine’s hooves.
A regular clear out and wash down of our your equine’s stable is important but expensive antibacterial powders, sprays, lotions and potions are simply not required when Nedz bedding is incorporated into your horse’s routine. The innovative, forward-thinking bedding manufacturer uses an exclusive Natural Nedz formula in both Nedz Pro and Nedz Original to help save their customers money, time and stress!
Natural Nedz was formulated specifically for Nedz so horse owners can rest assured that they are stabling their horses on the most natural product, which offers multiple benefits to provide a soothing and healing bedding, while also maintaining a non-toxic environment. Created using Manuka, Aloe Vera and Cade oil, Natural Nedz offers anti-bacterial, antiseptic, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic properties, whilst the unique aroma helps to eliminate odours, which in turn assists in discouraging insects and bugs.
In addition, the use of Natural Nedz helps reduce bed eating so you can have peace of mind that your stabled horse or pony won’t be tucking into his bed for an extra snack, saving you pennies and protecting his digestive system!
Nedz Original and Nedz Pro are both extremely absorbent products, which help reduce the levels of ammonia in your horse’s stable, and every bale of Nedz goes through a rigorous dust extraction process making them one of the most dust-free bedding products on the market.

Set up for the season ahead
It won't be long before the warm season wanes and it is time to consider switching your equine from his summer routine to one that suits the cooler months. Changing can seem like a significant undertaking but with the right bedding it can be simple and cost effective.
When selecting the right bedding there is plenty to choose from. Nedz offers three different types of specialist equestrian bedding with something to suit every eventuality.
Nedz Pro is made from oil seed rape straw and creates a super absorbent bed that is quick rotting and simple to muck out. Ideally suited to deep litter management system, Nedz Pro is treated with Natural Nedz to offer anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-insecticidal properties, whilst also reducing ammonia levels.Traditional bedding meets technology with Nedz Original; a chopped wheat straw product treated with the exclusive Natural Nedz formula to ensure your horse has the snug feel of straw, yet in an easy-to-muck-out, hygienic form. If you love a classic straw bed, but without the age-old irritations, Nedz Original is the product for you!
Nedz Original and Nedz Pro are both treated with a bitter tasting ingredient to prevent the greedy equine from tucking in to their bedding and both offer excellent value for money – requiring on average 4 – 5 bales for initial set up and one bale per week to top up.

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.

Protection is better than cure
Equine viruses can be seriously debilitating and even life threatening in some instances. Some viruses, such as Equine Influenza, Tetanus and the Equine Herpes Virus for example, can be vaccinated against but in order to prevent the risk of infection, correct care and hygiene must be maintained. Without it disease can easily be spread from horse to horse or human to horse, potentially effecting unvaccinated equines or those with a weakened immune system.
If you think your horse or pony may be affected by a virus you should always contact your veterinarian and if diagnosed put into place strict measures such as; washing and disinfecting of all of your equipment and clothing and quarantining any affected horses and those at risk of being affected. These measures, alongside maintaining good hygiene levels, will help to prevent the spread of infection.
In order to keep your equine’s environment clean and hygienic your horse’s stable, where he spends the majority of his time, should be regularly cleaned and cleared out. The removal of your bedding paired with washing the floor and walls of your stable on a frequent basis is advisable alongside using a high quality, effective bedding in order to keep health hazards at bay.

Simple summer healthcare in the stable
As the warmer weather approaches, the new season brings a change in management routines and new potential health hazards for horses. Though the sun offers welcome relief from the colder months it also brings with it an influx of conditions such as sweet itch, sunburn and fly bites, with a larger proportion of insects pestering and bothering our horses.
Many of us alter our horse’s routines during the spring and summer months by utilising stables during the day instead of over night. While this provides our equines with welcome shade and protection against the irritation of insects, it can also create another set of problems, making the all-important matter of hygiene and comfort in the stable even more prevalent.
