Azid has been on box rest for 6 weeks, 3 weeks on shavings and three weeks on wood pellets. After a few weeks on the wood pellet bedding from Blue Ribbon it’s safe to say it has delivered on its promises. We’ve only had to pop an extra bag in once a week which works out as £4.61 a week (individual bags are more expensive than a pallet), whereas on shavings I was spending £6.75- £10.12 depending on how much wet Azid was creating.
Pros:
- Sustainable
- Cheap-ish (Compared to shavings, that’s around a £200 saving per horse, per year)
- Low waste
- Next to no odour
- Easy to remove poo and wet (The wet is now a tiny amount and it kind of all holds together like play-do)
Cons:
- Can get dusty if you don’t add enough water
- Doesn’t look as pretty as shavings
- Heavier in comparison to shavings to throw up
So all in all we’re very happy after all our research that Blue Ribbon has met our expectations and wishes for a functional, comfortable bedding for our horses. Long may the lovely pine forest smell emanate from our stable.
