Flax straw or straw pellets for horses?

Good morning, I moved with my horse and have a choice of different bedding options. It's important to me that the stall can be mucked out quickly and easily. That's not the case with straw. So far, I've settled on straw pellets and flax straw. He has free access to hay. Still, I'm worried he'll eat the bedding. Can anyone tell me which option is better?

We use straw pellets and have not yet had one that really eats the stuff at over 60 horses. Of course, the one or other new access initially tries a few pellets, but then quickly realizes that the hay tastes much better 😉 So as long as there’s enough hay there, I wouldn’t make a head of myself. In case of doubt, you can easily water the straw pellets even after sprinkle in, then immediately spring them up and do not represent “travel”.

So I can’t confirm that, as I said. We don’t even water and still have no problems, let alone the fact that only one horse would have carved. However, ours always have enough hay – if a horse, of course, has nothing but a litter left him to eat.

You happy. we’ve got two of them, who’s even getting a good job at hobbies.

what do you give for mangan, copper, chrome, and the other trace elements if they don’t get a stray?

Outside in the open valleys and paddock huts they have straw, only for the boxes we use straw pellets.

ah, okay.

many thanks.

I was interested because we have a stubborn one who shouldn’t eat at all after possible. fortunate is not one of the two who can taste the hobbies.

it gets that stroh on minimum very precisely assigned.

If you knew anything else, it would have been a possibility.

With us, some have just begun to sprinkle with pellets and so slowly no one has more bock on it. The yard staff regularly curses because the misting is more complicated.

I used Leinstroh myself for a while, as my horse is lung disease. Was also more than a warm-up and is also quite slippery, making it difficult to lay down and stand up for horses. They’ll just sit down less.

I use straw and mish some chips under it, as the open pit is very open and the chips keep better dry. I mixed every day. 10min. And my horse is a mess!

So I think Stoh is easier to run, but maybe because I know better about it.

I’d take pellets.

If then pellets, where I find straw better to suck, is also more natural 😅😅
