Rice Hull Stall Bedding - Economical & Eco-Friendly!
AVAILABLE IN BAGS OR BULK LOADS!

spacer (1K)

Rice Hulls are unique within nature.  They are highly resistant to moisture penetration and fungus, last longer than traditional wood products, and the dust has been removed!  It works like a cat litter box, providing a deep layer of dry bedding between your horse and the urine spot.  Deep bedding has therapeutic, rehabilitative qualities for your horse, promotes rest, no more hock sores, and the bed stays drier.  This alleviates the harmful ammonia smell and damaging wetness to the feet. 

Stalls are easier to clean with rice hulls sifting out of your rake and back into the bed, which reduces haul off costs and makes rice hulls more economical.  Typically, only 1 to 1 1/2 bags are used per week after initially filling the bed.  It is reusable in your round pen, hot walker, arena and flower beds.

For more information, visit the Rice Hull Stall Bedding Website, or call 480.241.5422.
