In modern equestrianism, stabling is essential. But by keeping our horses inside, we expose them to dust, spores and allergens that may cause irritation and even chronic problems such as inflammatory airway disease (IAD) or COPD, commonly known as ‘heaves’. Research shows that a horse can inhale up to 12 million dust particles in a single breath under normal conditions. Blue Frog horse bedding shavings are manufactured specifically to eliminate respiratory irritants that can affect the wellbeing and competitive performance of your horse. Working closely with leading equestrians and vets, we’ve established the optimal flake size to ensure stability underfoot and excellent moisture absorption whilst enabling us to extract all dust and small particles from the bedding shavings. The flakes are heat-treated to ensure no spores or bacteria are present, then vacuum packed into sterile, individually wrapped bales for convenience.
