    I'm looking to buy wood pellets for horse bedding in bulk (must be in bags though, I don't want to buy it loose) - Does anyone know of a good supplier who will deliver to Tipperary?

    Would wood chip not be a much cheaper and better alternative to pellets. Pellets are dry, hard and uncomfortable for animals to lie on and they have almost zero soakage - and then there's the price - can be over EUR200 per ton in bags.

    I started using it recently and have found it very effective. You actually soak the pellets with a bit of water, and they expand, causing them have a sawdust/sand like appearance.

    They are extremely absorbent in comparison to the wood shavings I was using previously - No smell of ammonia, and excellent absorbency. €200 a tonne sounds like very good value, in comparison to what the bags of woodshavings cost.

    The wood pellets seem like better value *so far*; I paid a little over €5 per 15kg bag from a farm store to try them out, and I'm going through much less than the woodshavings.
