We have mats in all our stalls. One year here not durning foaling season we could not get wood shaving or straw anywhere. No one had any. So I just tore up paper and were my husband works they gave him bags of their shredded paper. . It worked out fine and still does when our feed store is unable to get any bedding or straw.

He's gorgeous! He's all legs and very up. I bet he will be an awesome mover.

On the other subject. I had never even thought of using shredded paper for bedding. If you leave a few large enough maybe they could even read themselves to sleep at night. We have a shredder at work and lots and lots of paper.

I'm sure it just rots away with alot less mess and pile up than shavings. Am I right or is it worse.

It is put in our compost pile and turned and decomposes better than straw.
