Wet Tricks for Aubiose Bedding

My review is nearing at the end of our 10 Bale trial
Here we are working out how to manage the wet patches.
We have found a good thick base to start approx 8 bales with a standard size stable is best. Although we mixed in with the old bedding and transferred over slowly we would recommend you don't mix bedding types as Aubiose works much better on its own
​
Aubiose can be completely deep littered or wet removed every 5-10 days depending on horse and only needs topping up when wet is removed.
​
We have a horse that plays hide the poop so his bed does take a little longer to muck out as the top layer of the bed needs to be thrown up to release the droppings before removal. We find it better to disrupt the base as little as you possibly can, allowing wet to soak to the bottom of the deep bed, keeping the top layer dry for the horse to lie down on
​
As the bedding in our stables draws out any damp from the walls etc we found the wood pellets didn't last very long and the stable was extremely wet needing the wet removed every other day.
Now we only scrap back the floor every other week to check the wet areas. Be careful just to have a peak don't disturb main base unless necessary. Remember forking it through will keep bringing it up to top and mixing with the dry resulting in taking out more than you need to
If you see a small amount of wet stomp it down, put some clean on top and try to forget about it
​
When the wet bed is removed and bedding is pulled down from the banks it only takes a few days for the bed settle back to a stable / fixed base if you have a fidgety horse.
