Did you know Bed-Down’s premium dust-extracted equine bedding comes in two bale sizes? Learn about our Handy Bale, for horses on the move.
At Bed-Down, we’ve spent over 65 years perfecting premium equine bedding with animal health and owner convenience at the heart of everything we do. From our pioneering EASY BREATHE™ dust extraction system, which ensures cleaner, safer bedding, to our patented Microcote™ additive (in Excel Plus and Premium) which helps suppress airborne dust during daily use, we never compromise on quality or care.
But it’s not just what’s in the bale that matters. It’s how you handle it too. That’s where the Handy Bale comes in.
Half the size and weight of a traditional equine bedding bale, our 10kg Handy Bale was designed with horse owners in mind. In fact, it was their idea! Lighter, easier and safer to lift, the Handy Bale is gentle on your back and easy to move around the yard. With its compact shape, you’ll also find you can fit 50% more Handy Bales into your vehicle, making transport more efficient.
The benefits don’t stop there. Because they’re smaller, Handy Bales help reduce wastage and ensure you’re always using fresh bedding. They’re also ideal for life on the go: perfectly sized to slot into horse trailer racking, making them a convenient choice for shows, competitions or overnight stays. Quite simply, the Handy Bale is practical, economical, and refreshingly easy to manage.
Alongside the Handy Bale, we’ve also re-imagined our Classic Bale for improved handling and storage. Now weighing 20kg, the Classic Bale features a flatter, rectangular shape that keeps the weight closer to your body, making lifting safer and more comfortable. This clever redesign even improves loading capacity by 33%, meaning you can fit four Classic Bales where you’d usually only manage three. Available across our trusted Excel, Excel Plus and Rapasorb ranges, the new Classic Bale continues our tradition of innovation, while caring for both horses and their owners.
With Bed-Down, you can trust that every equine bedding bale – Handy or Classic – arrives in peak condition, thanks to our double seal packaging system that protects freshness, strength and shelf life.
