Hemp Horse Bedding Tips & Reminders

• Do not dig at manure; pick from surface. Avoid exposing urine spot.

• Exposed urine spots that aren’t ready to be removed should be covered and stomped down to assist the pack.

• Brown Hempsteed bedding is still good.

• Hay and grain mixed bedding reduces effectiveness and should be removed. Loose good hay should be removed or consolidated prior to picking of stall. Managing feeding time with stall cleaning can greatly reduce the need to remove hay and mixed bedding. Hay nets or cages to keep hay off the ground can be helpful. 

• All horses and barns are different, and some management of Hempsteed bedding will be unique to your facility. Discover and develop techniques that work best for you and your horses.

Your waste heap is a valuable compost in little to no time!
