Recently however, increasingly horse owners have turned to the alternative bedding materials, namely, shavings, peat and paper litter. The problems associated with dust and fungal spores contained in the straw, and the ease of use of bagged bedding materials have meant that RAW STRAW has come to be viewed less favourably than in the past.
