Stora Enso’s premium horse bedding pellets are made from locally sourced and sustainably managed softwood. Our horse bedding pellets quickly absorb liquid and moisture, transforming into a bed that is fluffy, soft and comfy underfoot. Additionally, our pellets contain natural resins and oils to combat ammonia, keeping your stable smelling sweet.
Pellets are heat-treated and therefore naturally antiseptic and free from mould and bacteria. They are a safe choice and provide a healthy hoof and limb environment for all ponies and horses. The virtually dust-free pellet bedding can also benefit horses prone to respiratory conditions.

By adding fresh water to the wood pellets, they are softened into an absorbent bedding for the horse which is both dry and comfortable.
You can use pellets by Stora Enso in different ways, different horse owners will use different methods to prepare the bedding. For example, water can be added to the bag, which fluffs up the pellets into a dense, dry bedding. As you begin to use pellets, you will quickly work out how much water you prefer to add to each bag. If you have very wet horses, you can top up the bed with dry pellets on top of the wet areas. We have noticed that on average, it takes 10 litres per bag to activate the pellets. Once you have poured the water, wait for 10 to 15 minutes for them to become a fluffy bedding.
You will need about 6 to 8 bags to create a new bedding.
One pallet is typically about 9 months’ supply, depending on how clean or messy your horse is.
For the average horse stabled at night, 1 top up bag per week will be enough.
Yes, the soiled bedding composts quickly (8 to 10 months) and will produce excellent natural manure for your land. It will raise the acidity of soil as well as help to retain moisture in poor soils. Spread it around your flowering plants or use it as a mulch for trees. But don't use it in your veggie garden because although the pellets are non-toxic out of the bag, your veggies may absorb unsafe chemicals from the horse’s manure.
