Why Bedmax Shavings Are the Top Choice for Your Horse’s Stable

If you’re searching for the best bedding for your horse, there’s one name that stands out above the rest: Bedmax. And now, thanks to a major independent UK study, you don’t just have to take our word for it—Bedmax has officially been ranked number one among the UK’s leading horse bedding brands.

The study, carried out by renowned equine health and performance expert Dr David Marlin of Animalweb, set out to compare the top 12 bedding brands available in the UK. The goal? To give horse owners a clear, unbiased look at how different bedding options perform in the areas that matter most for horse health and stable management.

Here’s how Bedmax came out on top across four crucial categories:

Bedmax shavings are specially manufactured to be low in breathable dust. This is vital for maintaining healthy respiratory systems in both horses and their handlers. Less dust means a cleaner, safer environment for everyone in the stable.

The study measured levels of bacteria, mould, and Aspergillus (a common stable fungus). Bedmax scored highest for hygiene, helping to protect your horse from harmful microbes and supporting overall stable biosecurity.

Nobody wants a damp, smelly stable. Bedmax shavings excelled in moisture absorbency, keeping stables drier, fresher, and more comfortable for your horse.

Bedmax delivers excellent spread volume per bale at a 10cm depth, making it easy to achieve full, even coverage. This means you get more for your money and less time spent topping up bedding.
