Blue Ribbon Wood Pellet Horse Bedding 15kg

Blue Ribbon Wood Pellet Horse Bedding – 15kg

Blue Ribbon's bedding pellets are compressed virgin softwood, and they work on a different principle from loose shavings: the pellet stays dense and dry until it takes up water, at which point it breaks down into a soft, fine bed. That density is why a 15kg bag goes further than the size of the sack suggests, and why it stores in a fraction of the space.

Blue Ribbon describe the pellets as 100% virgin softwood, FSC certified, allergy and dust free, highly absorbent, and quick to bind odour. They publish no soaking quantities, no coverage figures and no bags-per-stable guidance in their product information, so none is quoted here.

Performance & Benefits

• Made from 100% virgin softwood, with no additives or chemicals.
• FSC certified timber.
• Blue Ribbon describe the pellets as allergy and dust free.
• Highly absorbent, with a structure Blue Ribbon say binds odour immediately.
• Compressed pellets take far less storage space than the equivalent volume of loose shavings.
• Fully biodegradable, so the muck heap rots down as normal.

Suitable For

• Stables and yards where storage space is short.
• Horses and handlers who react to dusty bedding.
• Owners who prefer a bed where the wet lifts out in patches.
• Use over rubber matting or on a traditional stable floor.
• Not the quickest bed to lay — pellets need wetting and time to open up, so a ready-to-spread shavings bale such as Bedmax or Wood & Slumber suits anyone who needs a bed down in minutes.

How to Use

• Tip the pellets onto a swept, dry floor and spread them out evenly.
• Wet them down and let them expand and break open before the horse goes in.
• Blue Ribbon publish no water quantity or soaking time, so follow the guidance printed on the bag.
• Lift out droppings and wet patches daily and top up with fresh pellets as needed.
• Keep unopened bags dry; a wet bag will start working in storage.
