Hemp provides an alternative, eco-friendly source for animal bedding.
One of the great upgrades for boarding horses without spending more money on bedding is to put hemp under your horses. Hemp is a naturally clean and durable soft bedding that is ideal for the health of horses. In addition, hemp is dust free and does not irritate the animal’s respiratory tract.
At CHAMP, we are career horse people who understand how important the respiratory health of horses is! With hemp bedding, the benefits are many. Our veterinary approved hemp bedding provides a significant upgrade for the health and wellbeing of your horse.
“I’ve never noticed any stickiness at all. It has been well dried, has very good moisture management attributes and it is easy to sift clumps from when cleaning to maximize litter life. The girls seem to really like it!”
“I am a regular customer and I fully support Graham and his business! He is very kind and professional! I have ordered multiple times and have never been happier. My chickens approve as well. Whenever I clean their coop they go crazy playing around and dust bathing in the fresh hemp.”
