Yeah, I think shavings is easier all the way around but I also think they are more expensive. In any case, if you stable at Payson Park in the winter, you are compelled to BUY and USE shavings from "Mrs. Payson's Hay and Feed Company". If you don't like it... hit the road Jack. The stall rent is $2,800 for the meet. Multiply that by 30 stalls to a barn, and you got a hefty chunk of change. Getting back to the subject of "bedding", thank GOD we don't have to use that Strew-Flex garbage. MAHHHN is that ever a poor excuse for bedding. It appears to come WITH the horse **** ALREADY MIXED IN IT when you open a new bag. I wouldn't bed my donkey in it. The poor people at Gulfstream Park have to deal with it since they are compelled to use that.
