😘 Hey guys, amazing that this is my most watched video, 🤔 I've now (kind of) actually learnt how to edit and have a proper vlogging camera on its way 🤯 as I type this. So I am planning on making a proper video where you can actually watch the process step by step. In the meantime check out my other videos and click that subscribe button, so you don't miss the new and improved video 😁 😘 🐴 xxxxxx 😁 😘 🐴
Well explained. I have just switched over to deep litter for the ponies, but am using straw instead. Like you said its more cost effective too. I like the warmth it gives off through the winter as well. I have never used shavings as deep litter so am not sure if they build up the same heat? Great video, keep up the good work. ATB, Marie.
Why would u leave the wet in at all I always take both the wet & poop out when I'm cleaning my horses stall I still have enough bedding to make sure shes clean......
You leave the wet in to give more of a cushion because if u take it out when your horse goes to lay down all the shaving will blow away from under them and they are lying on a stable mat so deep litter by leaving the wet in is more beneficial and has been proven time and time again to be better for your horse and it is what all professional barns do all of them will have a deep litter base I know from experience
my horse has a deep litter 17 years old. its all just compact shavings. its pretty much rock solid, doesnt smell, its on top of concrete so it means he's basically on earth like he would be in the field.... except he's a spoiled boy and he has a foot deep of shavings (that i take the wet out of). as long as your horse does not have worms, you can deep litter and its fine. as lomng as the amount of fresh bedding is sufficient, it won't smell or be at all harmful
This is really interesting and super helpful, an I ask how often you would completely empty including wet base and reload??
Honestly helped so much! I have started to do this with my boy but I would love to know more about the deep litter process xx
The wee sinks down and creates a firm base. You top up with shavings and then do a full muck out once a month or so

Doesn’t it cause bacteria growth if you leave all the wet in ? X
