Reduces grooming time and saves on waste.\u003cbr\u003eEnvironmentally friendly natural wood fibre.\u003cbr\u003eSourced from sustainable resources in the UK, the bedding makes excellent compost after use.\u003cbr\u003eSnowflake Softchip is the perfect bedding choice that enables you to spend less time mucking out or grooming and allow for more quality time with your horse, whether riding for pleasure or competing at the highest level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow to use Snowflake Softchip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsed correctly, Softchip is very quick and easy to work with being suitable for daily full muck out or a deep litter system. Very little waste is taken out from the stable each day which means a smaller muck heap too. Softchip doesn't tend to blow about whilst mucking out which makes for a tidier yard too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStart with a clean empty stable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInitially six to eight bales are required for a 12ft x 12ft stable depending on the depth of bed required on rubber matting. Additional bales will be needed if rubber stable mats are not used.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOpen a bale at a time and with a shavings fork, spread the Softchip evenly on the stable floor to the required depth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse additional bales to build banks against the stable walls if required. These not only help prevent horses from becoming cast when rolling but also guard against draughts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemoving the droppings with a shavings fork or by hand with rubber gloves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScrape the clean top layer of Softchip to the sides to reveal any wet patches. Rmove these with a fork or a shovel and sweep the floor clean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemake th bed by scraping the bedding back from the sides. Level and tidy the banks. If time allows, leave the bedding up to allow the floor to dry and then re-lay the bed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you prefer, you can use Softchip as a deep litter bedding, we recommend a bed thickness of approx 6 inches to allow any wet to drain to the bottom, ensuring that the top remains dry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne to two bales per week on average will be needed to maintain your horses' bed depending on which system you choose.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDust extracted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efor a healthy respiratory system.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMinimising dust levels within the stable environment is essential to help your horse maintain peak health and fitness. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eFree draining\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand highly absorbent.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAllows wet to drain away freely to the bottom layer, ensuring that the surface of the bed remains dry. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick and easy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto maintain.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDroppings are easily removed little waste whilst the underlying wet patches are quickly removed by fork. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e- A\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003enaturally warm\u003c\/strong\u003e, soft and comfortable product with a pine fresh odour.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe bedding improves stability under foot and offers very little movement.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoesn't cling\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eto manes, tails or rugs.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe bedding stays in the stable and not on your horse!
