Bed-Down Excel Horse Bedding – 20kg One of the original purpose-made horse beddings, developed over 45 years ago. Excel blends straw and shavings, which takes the comfort and volume of straw — cheap to build a deep bed with — and adds the absorbency that straw alone lacks. The fresh lemon scent keeps the stable smelling clean and, more usefully, acts as a deterrent to bed eating, which is the usual objection to any straw-based bed. Wet collects into small, easy-to-remove patches rather than spreading, so mucking out is quick and less bedding goes out with the muck. Performance & Benefits Blend of straw and shavings, combining comfort with absorbency. Fresh lemon scent keeps stables fresh and discourages bed eating. Free draining — wet collects into small, easy-to-remove patches. Quick and easy to muck out, saving time and bedding costs. Comfortable, cushioned bed, safe and supportive for horses of all ages. Developed with over 45 years of experience. 20kg bale, easy to handle. Suitable For Horses and ponies of all ages. Use on rubber mats or traditional stable floors. Horses that pick at a plain straw bed. Yards wanting a deep, cushioned bed economically. How to Use Initial stable setup: 5–6 bales for a 12 x 12 stable. Maintenance: add 1–2 bales per week depending on your horse's needs. Remove wet patches daily and top up rather than replacing the whole bed. Bank the sides to reduce the risk of a horse becoming cast. Specification Composition: blend of straw and shavings with a natural lemon scent. Pack: 20kg bale. Also available as a 24 bale pallet. Care & Caution Store bales off the ground and under cover. The lemon scent discourages bed eating but will not stop a determined bed eater. A shavings-only or hemp bedding is the safer option there.
