Oilseed rape is mainly grown for its oil-rich seed with the majority of the stems of the plant being a by-product. It is this by-product straw that we source from British Farm Assured farms in the South of England.
During the production process, the raw material is shredded and dust extracted to produce a finely chopped, soft, fluffy and free-draining product that is then baled, stacked, wrapped and sent on its way to our stockists.
We add nothing to our Burlybed Light except our time and expertise. Every bale is 100% rape straw so that the very best, totally natural, product makes its way to your horses or ponies stable.

The depth of the bed is not to mask moisture and droppings, it simply gives Original or Original Extra the chance to work its absorbent magic deep within the bed, leaving the top clean and dry.
No, you don’t. Burlybed Original and Original Extra will still work their magic for you if you use less. Using a smaller bed on rubber mats will still be absorbent. However, by starting with a fresh deep bed you will top up by less saving money in the long run.
As a natural product, it rots down quicker than shavings and straw and can be spread straight on the land.
If you are looking for all the benefits of miscanthus bedding with a natural and fresh scent then try Burlybed Original Extra. Treated with a unique formulation of eucalyptus and aloe vera which is naturally antiseptic, whilst smelling fresh and masking odours.
We take the time to double dust extract Burlybed in its processing. We would never claim to be 100% dust free. What we can say is that we work hard to maintain a low dust content.
We get asked this question the most! Miscanthus has a unique, pithy inner core. This core is ultra-absorbent and not very palatable. If you are concerned about your horse trying to eat bedding then why not have the additional peace of mind of trying Burlybed Original Extra with the extra deterrent of eucalyptus and aloe vera.
Yes! We choose our packaging to be functional and durable to protect our products while they are with our stockists and customers but we also consider the environmental impact. We use Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) which in simple terms is exactly the same as a supermarket bag for life. This plastic is 100% recyclable. Our packaging is also made from one third recycled material that would have otherwise been destined for landfill. Many local authorities accept LDPE as part of their recycling schemes so we always advise our customers to check with their local authority.
You can use our bedding however suits your horse and your own stable management, but for the very best results, we suggest a deep bed. A deep bed allows wet to drain through and be absorbed at the base keeping the surface dry. The droppings on the surface can be easily removed. The chop size is designed to easily fall through your fork reducing wastage.
In an average 12’x12’ stable we recommend using 4 – 6 bales to set up a bed. Top up when necessary.
