Info
We use only the best golden wheat straw to produce a firm dust free pellet that will crack and crumble easily under your horses hooves without the need for watering.
Straw pellets are an easy, cost effective and environmentally friendly way to bed your horse down whether you use a traditional bed or rubber matting. Due to the high temperatures reached during pelleting most moulds are denatured before bagging creating a healthy bedding.
Straw pellets rot down very quickly leaving you with a smaller muck heap and a manure that can be spread straight on to your fields to improve soil fertility and grass growth.
How to use
- Add 6-8 bags of our straw pellets to a 12ft x 12ft stable to setup the bed.
- Spread the pellets evenly across the bedding area, this will expand over the next couple of days to produce a supportive bed for your horse or pony.
- There is no need to water the bed as this will only reduce the amount of water or urine that can be absorbed naturally.
- Remove droppings and wet patches daily and top up with fresh pellets when needed. Usually 1 bag every 3-5 days depending on your horse and the environment/weather at that time of year.
"I have to admit I was very sceptical about trying a straw pellet bed system however Pellets Direct straw pellets have been an absolute game changer. Mucking out has halved in time and is less strenuous for me, the fact that you don't have to mess around soaking the pellets with water is fantastic. My muck heap is considerably smaller and rots down very quickly. The pellets create a very absorbent and supportive bed which the horses love as well as being aesthetically pleasing and fresh smelling. Virtually dust free meaning my horses and I can breathe easy. Highly recommend the straw pellet bed system, I am truly converted" "
