Pure Flake Premium Woodshaving Horse BeddingPure Flake Premium is a traditional small-flake white woodshaving bedding, manufactured from kiln-dried white softwood and dust extracted before baling. It sits in the middle of the Pure Flake range, and the flake size is what most people picture when they think of a shavings bed: soft underfoot, easy to bank up, quick to skip out.Kiln drying is what gives it the absorbency; dust extraction is what makes it usable in a barn where either the horse or the person mucking out has sensitive airways. Pure Flake publish the material and the process but do not publish a bale weight or a compressed litre volume, which is why the figures quoted for this bale vary from one retailer to the next.Performance & Benefits Traditional small-flake white woodshavings, soft and comfortable to lie on. Manufactured from kiln-dried white softwood, which is what gives the absorbency. Dust extracted, reducing the respiratory load on both horse and handler. Good spread volume, so a bale covers more floor than its baled size suggests. Clean white appearance, making wet patches and droppings easy to find. Skips out cleanly, keeping the daily muck-out quick and the waste heap small. Suitable For Everyday stable bedding for horses and ponies. Horses with dust sensitivity or a history of respiratory trouble. Yards wanting a bed that is fast to skip out and slow to build up. Foaling boxes and box rest, where a deep, soft bed matters most. Not the most economical way to bed a large barn deeply — a yard doing many boxes may find a more compressed bale such as Pure Flake Excel goes further. How to Use Spread a full bale evenly across the floor, then bank the sides to keep the horse off the walls. Skip out droppings and obvious wet patches daily, disturbing the rest of the bed as little as possible. Top up with part of a bale as needed rather than stripping and replacing the whole bed. Let the floor dry properly on the days you do strip the box. Store bales off the floor and under cover so they stay dry before use. Specification Traditional small-flake white woodshavings. Manufactured from white softwood, kiln dried and dust extracted. Supplied as a compressed, wrapped bale. Pure Flake also produce Excel (24kg), Classic and Extra in the same range. Pure Flake publish no bale weight, litre volume or dust content figure for Premium, so none is stated here. The 20kg in this product title is not a manufacturer-published figure, and retailer listings quote differing volumes.
