BEDMAX dust free shavings made specially for horses
BEDMAX Shavings offers you a 100% natural, dust free horse bedding developed and made specifically to help you keep your horse healthy, happy and comfortable in the stable. Since we began researching how to make the best bedding back in 1998, we’ve been on a mission to highlight why the right choice of bedding is so important to your horse’s health.
Bedding is potentially the biggest source of dust in the stable, and dust can impair or seriously damage your horse’s respiratory system. BEDMAX has one of the lowest levels of dust and spores on the market.

Your horse’s hooves need firm, resilient support. Our larger flakes provide it. We also dry BEDMAX to a controlled moisture content to prevent hooves from drying out and cracking.

Maintaining hygiene effectively is crucial and difficult. We make BEDMAX shavings from fresh pine because pine offers unique antibacterial action against harmful bacteria and fungi. We also dry our shavings at sterilising temperatures during production.

BEDMAX shavings help create a clean, supportive bed that encourages horses to lie down and rest, and cushions hocks and other joints from damage.

Poor bedding and bedding management exposes horses to greater contact with ammonia, which can damage the respiratory system and attack the structure of the hoof.

Horses in stables need to be able to lie down to achieve deep REM sleep. A comfortable, clean, natural bed enables horses to lie down and rest properly and safely.

I have used Bedmax for a number of years with my horses. I love Bedmax as it’s dust free so I know my horses will have clear airways and will be able to perform at their best.
I switched to Bedmax a couple of months ago and it is the best thing I have ever used, easy to muck out thoroughly absorbent and I would not use anything else.

Bedmax Scoops British Export Award
The UK’s Representative Body for the British Equine Industry Awards recognises BEDMAX for its export sales and of innovative marketing initiatives of horse bedding. Celebrating its 20th anniversary year, BEDMAX, the UK’s leading manufacturer of horse shavings, has won the prestigious 2020 BETA (British Equine Trade Association) Business Awards export award, which was presented at a Gala dinner in Birmingham on 20th January.
Pine shavings – a valuable bedding option at lambing time.
Sheep farmers are now facing the prospect of lambing indoors with drastic reductions in their use of antibiotics. For many, this poses a big potential problem in preventing the loss of lambs to E. Coli infections like watery mouth and scour. However, in recent years, growing numbers of farmers have reported to us that they are minimising their antibiotic use, and still saving more lambs, simply by using pine shavings in the lambing pens instead of straw. STOCKMAX pine shavings have been developed specifically to offer sheep farmers this naturally antibacterial and highly effective alternative solution.
Our Survey confirms the big stable health threats to your horses
Over the past three years we have run a series of annual EQUINE HEALTH SURVEYS asking owners to tell us what health problems their horses have been suffering in the six months of winter. We asked owners to report any health problems that were serious enough to prevent them from riding their horses, and/or need a visit from the vet. And we asked them specifically about the winter months because that’s the time of the year when the majority of horses in the UK spend the longest period of every day in their stables.
We're delighted to announce a newly improved production system to enhance product quality across all three production plants. In the region of £750k has been invested in a new separator and dust extraction system at all three production plants. Whilst further improving the consistent quality of BEDMAX and LITTLEMAX Shavings, this investment also ensures that all potentially harmful airborne dust and spores, which are detrimental to the horse’s respiratory, are removed from each bag.
