Keeping your horse, or horses, comfortable and cozy in their stall should be one of the main things that are on your mind when it comes to care. In order to do this, it is very important that you know all of the options that are available to you in terms of the bedding that you can supply for your horse in the stall. You may find that there are certain bedding options available in your area, while others may not be. No matter what, it can be a process of trial and error to find out what the best choice is for you, your horse and your budget.

One of the most popular forms of bedding that many owners like to use for their horses happens to be straw. Generally, clean straw is a common staple for any barn that is home to younger horses as well as mares. Always making sure that the straw that you provide is free from any sort of dirt or allergens is a must, especially when you have horses that like to graze on the straw in their living space.

If you happen to be keeping track of the diet that your horse is taking in, you may want to opt for the kind of bedding that they will not eat, which includes stall mats or even small wood pellets. With mats to line the bottom of the stall, you will be providing your horse with a whole new level of comfort. On the other hand, many owners are happy to use the wood pellets because they are very easy in terms of maintenance and keeping the stall clean.
