We've collaborated with North American research universities and regional veterinarians to determine that the recommended bedding depth depends on your stall's base material, whether it's matted, concrete, ag lime, or dirt.


For optimal usage, we recommend targeting 4 inches of softened pellet material and 4-6 inches of Swift Pick Mini Flake. Once compressed, the bedding supports the horse's weight and provides cushioning up and around the frog.


At this minimum depth, urine filters through and absorbs from the bottom up—a process we call biofiltering—which maintains a dry surface and keeps ammonia levels low at the floor. Larger flake sizes require greater depth to support compression under the horse's weight and prevent hock and knee sores.

Depending on the plant of origin (we operate six plants), our shavings are either kiln-dried at lower heat for an extended period or rotary-dried at high heat for a shorter duration. Both drying methods achieve the necessary moisture content levels to ensure clean, dry, mold-resistant bedding.


Our pine pellets are manufactured from kiln-dried material, and during the pelleting process, they undergo high heat treatment to pasteurization levels, which eliminates oils and potential contaminants. This makes our pine pellets an excellent hypoallergenic choice for horses with allergies. Contact us today for quality pine pellet horse stall bedding!

Our proprietary production method focuses on controlling both the quality of the material being pelletized and the quality of the finished pellet. Through our exclusive UHCBS3 technology, we've developed a pellet that better withstands the horse's weight while maintaining the high absorbency essential for stall bedding. This same technology produces pellets with lower dust levels than competing products on the market. For quality pine pellet horse stall bedding, contact us today!

All our bedding products are palletized, wrapped, and capped to withstand outdoor storage conditions. If you unwrap a single pallet, we recommend either covering it with a tarp or moving all bags indoors. For quality pine pellet and wood shavings for horse stalls, contact us today!

Guardian Horse Bedding pellets are manufactured from clean, high heat-treated pine shavings. We've developed a unique manufacturing process to create compressed wood shavings specifically designed for horse bedding applications.


The pine shavings material used in Guardian Horse Bedding pellets is screened, vacuumed, dried, and compressed into small, dense wood pellets, resulting in highly absorbent bedding that's 5 times more absorbent than traditional shavings and easy to sift.


It's important to note that all wood pellets aren't created equal. Most brands available today are simply fuel-grade wood pellets repackaged in horse bedding bags. We manufacture our pellets to significantly higher standards to address concerns about dust, absorbency, and durability.

The pellets function as a highly compressed form of fine shavings. When you initially bed the stall, the pellets require fresh water to expand and develop into the fine shaving particles that serve as the horse's bedding surface.


This fine shavings bed is allergen-free, easy to maintain, and exceptionally absorbent. The bedding's high density makes it extremely comfortable and shock-absorbing. When you need quality pine pellet horse stall bedding, be sure to contact us today!

By adding fresh water to our pellets, they soften into highly absorbent, comfortable, dry bedding for your horse. Many pellet bedding providers will direct you to bed your horse directly on hard pellets, which creates uncomfortable, unstable footing for both you and your horse. Our soft, dense bedding delivers shock-absorbent footing that's extremely comfortable for horses. Guardian Pine Pellet bedding serves as an excellent replacement for bulk bedding and addresses the quality concerns associated with traditional bulk bedding.

It's safe! There's no risk of contamination from inappropriate woods or foreign materials from outside sources.


Other manufacturers purchase wood waste from various sources, which creates the possibility of contaminants from hardwoods and other toxins, as well as inconsistent quality typical of bulk bedding supplies.


The carefully selected pine used in Guardian Horse Bedding products is closely monitored from start to finished product. This results in cleaner, drier stalls. Our drying process and strong wood fiber make the bedding three times more absorbent than traditional shavings or straw. Urine spots won't spread but will remain clumped or contained for easy removal. You'll be able to effectively clean even the wettest stalls without stripping. The fine bedding also allows for easier manure removal.


As a more cost-effective option, one 40-pound bag of Guardian Horse Bedding equals one to two traditional shaving bales. You'll experience a 30% to 50% reduction in consumption and disposal volume. Your stall cleaning time will be significantly reduced as well—compared to shavings, only half the time is required to clean the stall. Our 40-pound space-saving bags enable easier storage and handling.

Guardian Horse Bedding pellets are superior for several reasons. Our manufacturing process is exclusive to Guardian Horse Bedding. Our improved dust screening methods and particle texture control deliver the most advanced bedding pellet available on the market today.


Most bedding pellets currently available are standard-grade wood pellets simply packaged as bedding pellets. Through advancements in our manufacturing process, we've produced a wood pellet designed specifically for animal bedding use, which provides much cleaner, lower-dust bedding than other pellets.


The best wood fiber for horse bedding is 100% organic pine. The quality of Guardian Horse Bedding's raw material and our abundant supply ensure horse owners receive consistent, reliable, quality horse bedding. Additionally, while other wood pellet beddings instruct you to mix in the wet spot during cleaning, we don't recommend this practice, as leaving urine in the stall creates a breeding ground for bacteria and can be harmful to your horse.

Our pine pellet horse bedding is manufactured with dust control in mind. Dust levels are reduced because we've controlled particle size and extracted small dust particles. The bedding settles when you pick the stall or the horse moves around, rather than becoming airborne or floating. As a wood product, it will eventually pulverize over time. However, with proper stall cleaning and replacement, you'll find Guardian Horse Bedding pellet to be the lowest dust pine pellet bedding available.

Most horses will immediately recognize that it is wood and will not eat it. It is wood - it smells and tastes like wood. If you're concerned about a he'll-eat-anything horse, be sure the pellets are completely processed before the horse enters the stall (this is done by spraying more water and turning with the manure fork until the pellets are completely broken down).

Guardian Horse Bedding products require less storage space than the traditional baled shavings. Additionally, they are packaged in 40-pound plastic bags. Each 40x48 skid is packed with 50 bags, standing 4 feet tall, and weighing 2000 pounds. They are covered in a heavy-mill plastic tarp, which allows for outside storage. Skids may be double-stacked for space conservation.

It does not take long to realize savings to the horse or stable owner. When you take into consideration that each 40-pound bag of Guardian Horse Bedding is equal to 1.5-2 bales of traditional shavings, you can immediately calculate your savings in material costs. Additionally, you will reduce your labor costs (if applicable) by 30% to 50%. Bedding is only added every 5-7 days, as opposed to shavings. Because the bedding sifts so easy (you are only disposing of wet bedding and manure), your disposal volume will reduce by 30-50% as well. All of these benefits translate into a reduction in stable management expenses. Utilizing the new aeration compost systems, there is potential income from the high-quality compost.

A 12x12 stall will require approximately six bags of bedding for conversion. Fresh water will be necessary to transform the pellets into the soft, dry, absorbent bedding your horse will bed on. Once the stall is converted to Guardian Horse Bedding, you should not have to add additional bedding for about two weeks. Thereafter, a typical horse will require one bag of bedding every 5-7 days. Additional bags of bedding may be added to adjust the bedding depth to your liking. However, since the bedding will continue to grow for the first few days after conversion as it pulls moisture from the air and ground, it is recommended that you wait before adding additional bags until the stall is complete, since deep bedding can be heavy and hard to move around. If your stall is smaller or larger than 12x12, adjust the number of bags used at start-up accordingly.

If you use Guardian Horse Bedding properly, you should not have to strip your stall as the bedding recycles itself through your daily mucking out.

Our premium pine pellet bedding will work in most cold weather situations. We have sold our wood pellets in Northern Ontario, Minnesota, and Maine for many winters to happy customers. We do recognize the difficulties some facilities have adding water during extreme winter temperatures. We recommend Swift Pick shavings under these circumstances. Swift Pick offers the benefits of the pellet, but eliminates the need for water. It is ready to bed!

Yes, Guardian Horse Bedding will provide the same benefit to poultry, cattle, and dairy. It is a great cat litter too! Some small animal species can be sensitive to pine. Consult your veterinarian. Special note: There could be a risk involved with small animals, i.e., puppies, ingesting the hard pellets. Please be sure to soften the pellets prior to use if this is a concern in your application. The softened pellet fiber is actually more absorbent and will provide more protection from wetness in cages.
