Well. As part of the deal in winter we pay slightly more and get adlib straw included. However I have never really got on with straw. Always been a shavings person. Felt straw had its place. But sox would eat it. Also I would be mucking out before work and I cant be smelling of straw while I am at work.
The YO said I could have shavings for sox if needed, mainly due to if he came down with lami I already have a supportive bed... Plus I find it much cleaner then straw and it doesn't smell as much. Though I am wanting to save some money, shavings aren't cheap. Also I struggle to get to grips with straw....
The only thing was if I was going with straw I was going to do straw bed and do the rest of his stable with mats Though I would have a few matts left over and not to sure where to store them. Though if I am going wih shavings I will need more matts. His stable is about 18ft by 14ft
