Healthy Horses

Our dust-reduced horse bedding is specifically designed to help combat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in horses.

COPD makes it difficult for affected horses to fully exhale before inhaling, leading to discomfort, low energy, and reduced performance.

The condition is strongly linked to chronic respiratory infections, which often begin when irritants such as dust enter and inflame the small airways of the lungs.

Although COPD cannot be completely cured, it can be effectively managed. By reducing exposure to dust, the risk of respiratory infections is greatly lowered.

This is why Platts’ dust-reduced, hypoallergenic equine bedding is such a valuable choice for supporting your horses’ long-term health and wellbeing.

Large Flakes

The larger, natural flakes absorb moisture effectively without becoming too compact, helping the bedding stay drier for longer and keeping stables clean and fresh.

Mucking out is also quicker and more efficient with the larger flakes, reducing bedding costs over time while maintaining a drier, more hygienic environment.

The flakes help keep animals cleaner too, with less sticking to hooves and tails and reduced tracking around the stables.

Easy Storage

Big Flake Shavings are supplied in larger bales, each with a volume of approximately 120 litres.

The bales are neatly stacked on pallets and wrapped in a weatherproof hood for outdoor storage, allowing better use of space and greater convenience for you.
