Low dust shavings made specially for horses

Bedmax Shavings offer a 100% natural horse bedding developed and made specifically to help you keep your horse healthy, happy and comfortable in the stable.

Bedmax shavings are large flake pine shavings, purpose made to provide an ideal bedding for horses and ponies.

We began making Bedmax in the year 2000 to offer you a bedding developed specifically to help you address all the issues that threaten the health and wellbeing of your horses in their stables.

Today we make Bedmax to our unique specification at three dedicated production plants in the UK. Our absolute priority is still to provide you with a 100% natural bedding with the lowest possible levels of the airborne dust that can damage your horse’s respiratory system, and to help you create a bed that maximises hoof health, support, protection, hygiene and biosecurity.

Bedding is potentially the biggest source of dust in the stable, and dust can impair or seriously damage your horse’s respiratory system. Bedmax has one of the lowest levels of dust and spores on the market

Your horse’s hooves need firm, resilient support. Our larger flakes provide it. We also dry Bedmax to a controlled moisture content to prevent hooves from drying out and cracking.

Maintaining hygiene effectively is crucial and difficult. We make Bedmax shavings from fresh pine because pine offers unique antibacterial action against harmful bacteria and fungi. We also dry our shavings at sterilising temperatures during production.

Bedmax shavings help create a clean, supportive bed that encourages horses to lie down and rest, and cushions hocks and other joints from damage.

Poor bedding and bedding management exposes horses to greater contact with ammonia, which can damage the respiratory system and attack the structure of the hoof.

Horses in stables need to be able to lie down to achieve deep REM sleep. A comfortable, clean, natural bed encourages horses to lie down and rest properly and safely.
