Why Brad Chooses EquineStraw

“Real rewards come from hard work, and consistency. Having my horses resting today, rehabilitating when necessary, and completely rejuvenated for their job, when it comes time to go to work, makes my job easier as a trainer. As an equine educator, I’m thankful to HealthiStraw for making a product that stands out from the rest. Just how I want my horses to do when we compete.”

Lorie Duff

We’ve been using EquineStraw bedding at our fifteen-stall facility for a year now and the advantages are clear: virtually dust free, lasts longer, easier to bank against the stall walls, lighter bales, sturdier packaging, better coverage, and more economical, saving us upwards of 20% over the wood shavings. The horses love it too, they lay down in their stalls about 40% more often since we have made the switch. EquineStraw just makes sense.

Frenchtown Riding Club

“I am in love with EquineStraw! … I have a horse who has allergies and itches himself to the point of causing wounds. Now, his coat is beautiful and he almost never bites himself. I was even able to take him off his allergy pills. It’s easy to sift through, has great absorption, and also looks nice in the stall. I would recommend this bedding to anybody.”

Colleen Loach

“We could not believe the immediate impact the change in bedding made for those horses. Coughing stopped, no more nasal discharge, even their energy levels went up. One horse had been on respiratory medication for years and no longer needs it. Not only is the product dust-free (really!!!), it provides an amazing cushion that encourages the horses to lie down, it is lighter than shavings making it easier to muck, and it is so nice and bright to look at.”

Sara

“I have been using HealthiStraw’s EquineStraw bedding for 7-8 years now in my trailer and in my pens!! I cannot say enough about this straw. When Stella showed the first signs of bleeding I switched from shavings in my trailer to EquineStraw to limit the dust and particles she was inhaling while on the road. This has helped her tremendously!!!”

Krystal Grad

“I’ll never change up by EquineStraw obsession – it’s totally worth the investment as I know my animals are getting the best of the best! Thanks for making such a good product :)”

What’s the difference between all the animal bedding products?

While all of our bedding products are absorbent, soft and fluffy, the specific form of each product affects those aspects slightly.

 

FarmStraw Fine: Shortest cut length for maximum absorption and softness.

 

FarmStraw Coarse: Longest cut length, providing good absorption, fluffiness, and excellent insulation/warmth.

 

EquineStraw: Mid cut length for high absorption, comfort and softness.

 

PetStraw: A blend of multiple straw lengths, offering maximum absorption, odor control, and fluffiness for nesting, and tunneling.

Is FarmStraw Herbicide/Pesticide-free?

Safety is a top priority for us, and we take it seriously at every stage of production. While our products don’t hold an official certified organic label, we conduct regular and thorough testing. These tests consistently yield results either on par with certified organic straw or detecting one or two chemicals at the lowest measurement possible, well under any acceptable government standards for food products.

Is EquineStraw Non-GMO?

Yes, it is non-GMO! EquineStraw is 100% wheat straw and sourced locally from the Canadian prairies, where all wheat grown is non-GMO

Is straw absorbent?

Straw in its raw form is not known for its absorption nor softness; however, through our innovative multi-step process, all of our animal bedding products are not only highly absorbent, but also incredibly soft. The innovative absorption wicks moisture down and absorbs from the bottom up, keeping the surface dry, soft and comfortable, allowing your horses to live in a healthy, clean and safe environment.

What happens if my horse nibbles on the straw?

Sometimes horses will instinctively nibble on their bedding to get familiar with it. There’s no need to worry, though! Unlike wood/paper based product, EquineStraw is easily digestible (compared to long pieces of raw wheat straw), and once your horse becomes familiar with their new bedding, they will no longer feel the desire to nibble on it!

How much product is in one bag of EquineStraw?

The bags are 3 cuft. When opened, the bag expands to 10-12 cu ft (283-340L) of useable product.

 

1 inch = 150 sq ft  |  2 inches =75 sq ft  |  4 inches = 35 sq ft  |  6 inches = 25 sq ft
