ThoroBed® Bedding recommendations
Video (56k modem, ISDN) or Video (Broadband)
First use
Remove the old bedding and clean the box thoroughly;

Clean concrete or paved floors with a high-pressure machine;

Spread ThoroBed on the damp floor. Spread the first bedding abundantly in order to obtain a thick bedding carpet.
A rule of thumb is :
  • 5 bags for a box of 3 x 3 m.
  • 7 bags for a box of 4 x 4 m.
Daily
Remove the droppings every day with a fine-toothed dung fork;
Rake the top layer together in the places where the horse scratched it open or turned it over.
Weekly
If the horse always urinates at the same spot, remove the wet bedding.
Weekly add ˝ - 1 bag to keep the top layer fresh.
Remove all the bedding every 10 to 12 weeks, clean the stable thoroughly and add fresh bedding.
Tip
When switching over from traditional straw to ThoroBed, it is advisable to give your horses some hay or straw. Indeed, roughage remains necessary and a radical change from an 'edible' to an 'inedible' bedding may lead to boredom.
Most horses will have a good roll in the ThoroBed bedding after they will have entered their box, as an expression of their satisfaction.
