    Hi Guys I just got offered a bedding for my stables. It is a mixture of woodchip and shredded paper. It is meant to be comfortable form the horse but yet have good soakage as of the shredded paper. It also holds well together because of the woodchip and it is dust free. What do you guys think ??

    Sounds alright. I just don't like using paper because I find it's annoying to muck out. We just use shavings.

    Let us know how it's suiting you though :)

    Woodchip works well for me on its own, I have seen that mix before but never used it

    Id be interested in hearing how it turns out too. Pics would be even better!! I prefer sawdust and my other half prefers straw but Ive found the key to a good bed is the surface and drainage. Our stables were built on concrete with a fall but no drainage and its a disaster. Im tempted to did up all the concrete and put down hardcore and pee gravel. Then put very deep sawdust down.

    Only one problem, getting time!!!
