Burlybed Light Extra is made in the exact same way as Burlybed Light. Using UK grown oilseed rape straw sourced from British Farm Assured farms and processed to create a soft, supportive and free draining bedding.

We have added the extra benefit of a unique formulation of naturally antiseptic eucalyptus and soothing aloe vera. Our exclusive treatment is 100% natural, creating a hygienic and fresh environment, helping to combat and mask odours and acting as a deterrent for those horses tempted to eat bedding. Eucalyptus is used for its naturally antibacterial properties, combined with the soothing properties of aloe vera, making a great addition to our high quality rape straw bedding.

HOW DO I USE BURLYBED LIGHT extra?

You can use our bedding however suits your horse and your own stable management, but for the very best results, we suggest a deep bed. A deep bed allows wet to drain through and be absorbed at the base keeping the surface dry. The droppings on the surface can be easily removed. The chop size is designed to easily fall through your fork reducing wastage. 

In an average 12’x12’ stable we recommend using 4 – 6 bales to set up a bed. Top up when necessary.
