Like humans, horses crave a comfortable habitat. A safe and quiet environment allows them to fully relax and rest. However, spending long periods in the stable inevitably leads to a significant amount of excrement, which, if not cleaned promptly, will accumulate on the floor. To address this issue, bedding can be laid in the stable. Bedding not only provides cushioning for the horse's legs, allowing them to stand comfortably, but also reduces friction when the horse lies down or stands, effectively protecting the hocks and elbows from chafing.
Furthermore, a thicker bedding design helps horses curl up against the wall for warmth in cold weather. Considering the ventilation and temperature of the stable, thicker bedding also enhances the horse's comfort. Additionally, the bedding absorbs urine and other moisture; regularly removing damp bedding and cleaning the stable effectively reduces bacteria on the ground, providing a healthy living environment for the horses.
