Managing your stable

easibed is a clean, dust free wood fibre bedding which is loved by horses and their owners alike. Made from 100 per cent recycled clean white wood, its texture and warmth provide a bed your horse won't want to leave!

The consistency of easibed means it gives a supportive and free-draining bed, allowing the wet to drain through to the base where it is absorbed, and leaving the top dry and comfortable for your horse.

easibed is economical to use, easy to muck out and produces a smaller than usual muck heap, which can be recycled into land. In addition, easibed has Organic Farmers & Growers certification, so it can also be spread on land as part of an organic farming system. What more could you ask for?

If your horse suffers from respiratory problems it could benefit from easibed plus, an advanced form of our original dust free easibed.

easibed plus contains organic additives which help to significantly reduce known contaminants in the stable environment, supporting your horse’s respiratory health.

It also helps to suppress odours and contains an effective fly-deterrent, meaning there’s no need to use fly spray on stabled horses.

easibed plus also benefits your horse’s feet, by reducing exposure to both the horn-damaging chemicals in droppings and wet beds, and the bacteria that can cause foot problems like thrush and seedy toe.

easibed plus is used by champion riders including Richard Davison to enhance performance, as well as many competition yards, veterinary hospitals, referral centres, racing yards, studs and breeders around the world.

How to use easibed / easibed plus

Setting up an easibed stable is simple. Just follow these steps:

Step 1: Start with a clean stable. If you have rubber matting, ensure this is clean and dry before laying easibed.

Step 2: Add easibed to a depth of at least six inches. Set the bed with a good quality shavings fork, so that it is level and firm.

Step 3: Move your horse in and enjoy the benefits of a dust free environment for you and your horse. 

Step 4: Periodically remove all easibed, and clean and dry mats before laying fresh bedding.

Step 5: Enjoy more time riding!

Managing your stable

The key to managing a successful easibed stable is the depth. It is recommended that your bed should be approximately six inches deep to allow the bed to ‘free drain’ wet down to the base, but if your preferred method of mucking out is to deep litter, or if you have a particularly messy and wet horse, you may want to have a deeper bed.

If you remove wet daily from your bed, easibed will allow you to part the top dry layer of bedding revealing the wet patch at the base. This can be easily removed and the dry bedding pulled back over the base and levelled off.

Droppings will remain on top of the bed and can be easily lifted off, making skipping out easy.

As less bedding is thrown away with easibed, the size of your muck heap is reduced, therefore saving you time and money when dealing with removal.
