We’ve been using Heavenly Bedding since 2017 and it is a great product, easy to use, stable and long lasting, at a very good price. We also appreciate the excellent service from Peter Sheppard and his team.
Why we use Heavenly Bedding
Having tried a variety of types of bedding in the past, we find that the “Heavenly Blend” mix, with wheat straw and shavings, is the best product for us.
Peter has invested a lot of time in developing various different blends and is happy to work with new customers to find the best mix for their needs. We like the bitter agent, which stops bed eating. It’s reassuring to know that every time we buy the bedding it’s supplied at the same high quality and consistency we’re used to.
We also like knowing exactly where everything used to make the bedding comes from and how it is made on the Sheppard’s family farm. We know it doesn’t travel far to reach us so there’s a low carbon footprint.
The stables team love using the product as it’s easy to handle and lasts much longer than other types of bedding we’ve tried. Our larger horses use 1 to 1½ bales per week and the smaller ponies about ½ bale. After use, it goes on our muck heap and gets recycled.
