Outstanding Equine Bedding

I moved to Silva Bed two weeks go and I am absolutely over the moon with the bedding.

I have four large horses, including the world's messiest gelding who also has equine asthma, and I have tried every bedding on the planet.

Silva crumb has made such a lovely bed which is extremely easy to muck out I have saved about 30 45 minutes a day mucking out time, it is so easy and the trips to the muckheap has less than halved. Once I've mucked out, I rake over the bedding to level off the bed. The horses seem to like it too and roll every day when I bring them in!! I've also noticed that their legs are much drier and cleaner after being outside. The bedding is definately the most absorbant I've ever used.

The customer services is fantastic and such a lovely company to deal with. Following my first order, I received a call to talk about the delivery options (we live down a single track lane). Once delivered, I had a follow up call to ensure everything was ok.

It will be interesting to see how long the pallet lasts me but I'm sure it will be a lot longer than the previous bedding. Thank you Silva Bed.

I’ve just had my first delivery of half a pallet of Bedding. Ordering process was great, excellent communication and speedy delivery. The pellets themselves are fantastic. I love the colour, having tried 2 other types of pellets, that leave the bed looking dirty and dusty, these stay lovely and white and clean. Super easy to muck out, with very little waste. I’ve used 4 bags in each stable, as I have mats, and I top up with a bale of big flake shavings, more out of habit and asthetics than anything, but the beds look and smell fresh , inviting and clean. The pellets form a really good fluffy base. I’m really impressed 🤩

Like many horse owners with jobs, homes, dogs, partners etc, time and money are limited. Products are considered and chosen based on minimising the above without compromising efficacy or welfare. I have tried all types of bedding based on the varied needs of my different horses and I have now used pellets as my predominant bedding for years. When they became difficult to source a while back, I happened across Silva Crumb by chance and quickly made an order. Having had varying quality in the past, I was pleasantly surprised to find the Silva Crumb of a consistently high quality, very absorbent and with a lovely smell. The larger 18kg bags are the perfect size, ordering is straightforward and the company exceptionally easy to deal with. I’ve lost track of how many pallets I have had now, but each has been of the same high quality, it’s quick and easy to skip or muck out and dust is minimal. Really pleased I discovered this product, it suits me well in terms of time and money, but more importantly, suits all the varying needs of my horses.

"We have been using Silvabed crumb this winter and we are so impressed with it! I run a busy livery yard with 15 horses on this bedding, and the overall management is really easy. The bedding is light and fluffy, simple to muck out and keeps a really nice colour. "

I’ve tried most types of bedding and decided to try Silva Crumb as I saw it advertised on a Facebook group.
I have a clean, old horse and a messy young one, who box walks and poos in the same place most days but some days treads it all in.
I like the silva crumb because it holds the wet and goes solid, so it doesn’t mix in with the rest. The pellets are easily dissolved with water and I only have to out in one bag every five days although I am quite stingy with it as it has rubber mats.
The poo sits on the top and doesn’t tend to break up into little bits as with normal wood pellets, and is easily scooped up.
The bed doesn’t smell, I leave the wet in and dig it out every ten days or so. Even when it’s dug out there is minimal odour.
I’m really pleased with it, perhaps the only thing I would say is that the poor man who delivered it had trouble with his fork lift trolley and had a job getting the pallet uphill into the yard, but that was a logistics problem!
I would definitely recommend it!
