In this video I trial some different bedding types to compare them with a the aim of finding the most suitable for efficient use in a commercial setting. For this it is focussed on a semi deep litter system but I also look at all the merits of the various bedding types for use with all systems.

The results are based on a points scale but I also decide which are my own personal favourites based on my preferences of comfort and looks.

This is a comprehensive horse bedding comparison of Hemp, Rape straw, Woodchip, Wood Pellets, Straw and Wood shavings.

With 30 years in the professional horse industry and 22 years running my own livery yard I hope you gain from some of my experience but bear in mind you will have your own preferences and my needs to get the job done don't necessarily match your requirements.

I hope you enjoy watching this video
