How to use Snowflake Softchip, Sopftchip Plus, Standard & Surpeme, which offers several major advantages over other bedding systems.

Used correctly, Softchip, Standard & Supreme are very quick and easy to work with being suitable for daily full muck out or a deep litter system. Very little waste is taken out from the stable each day which means a smaller muck heap too.

1. Start with a clean empty stable
2. Initially six to eight bales are required for a 12ft x 12ft stable depending on the depth of bed required on rubber matting.
3. Open a bale at a time and with a shavings fork, spread the bedding evenly on the stable floor to the required depth.
4. Use additional bales to build banks against the stable walls if required. These not only help prevent horses from becoming cast when rolling but also guard against draughts. 
5. Removing the droppings with a shavings fork or by hand with rubber gloves.
6. Scrape the clean top layer of bedding to the sides to reveal any wet patches. Remove these with a fork or a shovel and sweep the floor clean. 
7. Remake the bed by scraping the bedding back from the sides. Level and tidy the banks. If time allows, leave the bedding up to allow the floor to dry and then re-lay the bed.   
8. If you prefer, you can use bedding as a deep litter bedding, we recommend a bed thickness of approx 6 inches to allow any wet to drain to the bottom, ensuring that the top remains dry.
