With the summer months looming closer, now is the time to consider how you are going to keep your equine’s stable as hygienic as possible when temperatures soar. During the summer time many horse owners keep their horses stabled during the day to avoid the midday sun. This can be a beneficial health measure in some aspects, however without ensuring that the stable environment is both clean and relaxing it can cause a new set of problems!
The stable should provide a relaxing retreat for our equines and in the hotter weather offer solace from the blazing sun. However, if not kept hygienic, flies can cause irritation to your horse and also sometimes carry unpleasant bacteria into the stabled environment. In addition, the heat itself can exacerbate the smell of ammonia resulting in odours that are potentially damaging to the respiratory tract. Regular and thorough mucking out is essential, alongside selecting absorbent, hygienic equine bedding.
Nedz Original and Nedz Pro provide a fresh bed for all horses and ponies, offering a soft and sturdy base made from high quality chopped straw.
The highly absorbent, dust-extracted Nedz range provides your horse with an environment that is low in ammonia and dust spores helping to protect respiratory health when stabled regularly.
With hygiene being at the top of the agenda in the warmer months, Nedz Original and Nedz Pro also contain the unique Natural Nedz formula to help repel insects and banish bacteria!
Natural Nedz is anorganic treatment, which is anti-bacterial, antiseptic, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic helping to keep the stable environment clean and fresh. This beneficial addition to the bedding also has ingredients known for protecting the skin and minimising the risk of hygiene issues. The unique odour of the bedding discourages insects and bugs allowing your horse to relax in his stable safe from irritants and pesky bugs!
Nedz Original and Nedz Pro are priced between £6 - £8 per 20kg bale. For more information about how Nedz can benefit your horse or pony this summer visit www.nedz.co.uk or call 01254 677 762 to find your nearest stockist.
