Since switching my barn to EquiHemp the benefits keep adding up. We spread it on the trails after cleaning stalls and have beautiful footing that absorbs the wetness from the rain. It lowers the flies, dust, and dirt. It is easy to clean the stalls; it is light and produces little waste.  Sometimes we pick the poop and have to look for the wet spot since the pee goes to the bottom, the bedding stays dry on the top.

EquiHemp is a company owned by people passionate about horses and the planet. They are dedicated to the health and well-being of their horses while making a strong contribution to the environment.

Hemp bedding has many good reasons for being used, the most important being that it is safe, non-toxic, and benefits the environment.

Healthy Hemp for Horses

Pine and cedar shavings contain Phenol, which is toxic to animals and the soil if spread on pastures. Hemp bedding has many good reasons for being used, the most important being that it is safe, non-toxic, and benefits the environment.

1. LAST LONGER: It absorbs 4x its weight and is 2x more absorbent than straw, pine, or wood materials. You save money by not needing to switch bedding as often. Paying for waste removal will cut your removal costs by 50%.
2.  NO DUST: It produces no dust and is hypoallergenic—an excellent option for horses with respiratory issues or to avoid them.
3.  SOFTNESS PROMOTES BETTER SLEEP. Cleanliness is extremely important for equine athletes’ health, performance, and longevity.
4. URINE CONTROL: Urine does not spread like pine or straw bedding. It clumps similar to small animal litter.
5. GOODBYE BAD ODORS: It traps the unwanted smells of Ammonia. Since it is antimicrobial, it will reduce flies, mites, and other pests. It eliminates the need for Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.).
6. HIGHER THERMAL RATING: It keeps animals warmer in the winter and dryer during wet weather. It is also excellent for humid climates since it is so absorbent.
7. BIODEGRADABLE AND FREE OF CHEMICALS: Without toxic chemicals, it supports the health of the animals and those around them. Pine contains Phenol, which is toxic to animals and the soil if spread on pastures.
8.  DECOMPOSES FASTER than pine, sawdust, or wood shavings and is less acidic to the earth (Phenol). 100% compostable. Managed properly, no “stall stripping” is necessary. If spread on pastures, hemp hurd improves the soil and grass.
9.  RENEWABLE RESOURCE: Better for the health of our planet and our well-being. Hempcaptures 2x the CO2, produces 4x the amount of paper versus trees, and grows from seed to harvest in only 120 days.
10. LOOKS BETTER AND COVERS MORE AREA: It breaks up nicely, covering more surface area and being aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Four bags cover a 12×12 stall 2” deep, and because hemp bedding is denser than wood, less is needed for a horse’s comfort.
