Horse Bedding
At Greenway Animal Nutrition, we understand that your horse’s comfort, health, and well-being start from the ground up—literally. That’s why we offer superior horse bedding options that go beyond just providing a soft place to rest. Our partnership with The Straw Boss allows us to supply premium-quality straw bedding that delivers absorbency, cleanliness, and comfort while also supporting a more sustainable approach to animal care.
Whether you’re managing a stable of performance horses or caring for a single beloved companion, the right bedding is crucial. It influences hoof health, respiratory conditions, barn hygiene, and even forage quality. Our mission is to bring you the best in horse bedding, backed by years of agricultural expertise and a deep passion for animal wellness.
Why Bedding Quality Matters
Horse bedding isn’t just about keeping your stalls neat—it plays a critical role in your horse’s day-to-day life. Horses spend a significant portion of their time standing, lying down, or rolling in their stalls. Poor-quality bedding can lead to a host of issues, from thrush and hock sores to respiratory irritation caused by dust and ammonia buildup.
At Greenway Animal Nutrition, we aim to remove these risks with high-performing, natural bedding solutions that benefit both your animals and your barn management routine.
The Power of Straw Bedding
Straw has long been a staple in barns around the world, but not all straw is created equal. Through our collaboration with The Straw Boss, we supply premium straw bedding that’s been cleaned, processed, and compressed to reduce dust and increase absorbency.
Here’s why we believe in the power of straw:
- Exceptional Absorbency: Processed straw bedding can hold a remarkable amount of moisture, helping to keep stalls dry longer and reducing ammonia odors.
- Low Dust Levels: Respiratory health is crucial for both horses and barn staff. Our straw bedding is dust-extracted to create a cleaner breathing environment.
- Sustainable: Straw is a renewable, biodegradable resource. Choosing straw helps reduce your carbon footprint while keeping your horses healthy.
- Natural and Comfortable: Horses enjoy the cushioning feel of straw, which encourages natural lying behavior and reduces stress on joints.
Our straw bedding is suitable for a wide range of uses, from equine barns to livestock pens, and it’s especially popular with customers looking for a more natural, forage-aligned approach to animal care.
Horse Bedding Pellets: A Smart, Space-Saving Option
In addition to straw, we also offer horse bedding pellets, a compact and convenient option for barns of all sizes. These pellets are made from compressed straw fibers. Advantages of horse bedding pellets include:
1. High Absorbency
Bedding pellets absorb up to three times their weight in moisture, helping maintain cleaner, drier stalls for longer.
2. Easy to Store and Transport
Because pellets are so compact, you can store more bedding in less space, which is ideal for barns with limited storage.
3. Quick Clean-Up
Soiled bedding clumps together, making mucking out faster and more efficient.
4. Cost-Effective
Though the initial cost may be slightly higher, the long-lasting nature of pellet bedding often results in fewer top-ups and lower long-term expenses.
5. Eco-Friendly
Our pellets are made from all-natural straw, helping you make a more sustainable choice for your barn.
If you’re interested in switching to horse bedding pellets, our team is happy to discuss the options that will work best for your barn setup and horse care routine.
Choosing the Right Bedding for Your Horse
We know that every barn is unique. What works in one setting may not work in another. That’s why we offer both chopped straw and pellet options—so you can choose the solution that fits your horses, your facility, and your management goals.
Here are a few tips for choosing the right horse bedding:
- For Horses with Respiratory Issues: Dust-extracted straw bedding or low-dust horse bedding straw pellets are the safest choices.
- For Hoof Health: Dry, absorbent bedding helps prevent issues like thrush. Straw pellets are particularly effective here, but high-quality straw also works.
- For Easy Stall Cleaning: Straw pellets offer easy spot cleaning, while straw may take more time but offers a traditional look and feel.
- For Eco-Conscious Operations: Both straw and pellet bedding options can be composted, which are made with sustainability in mind.

How Our Bedding Supports Forage-Focused Care
At Greenway, we emphasize a forage-first approach to animal health and nutrition. That philosophy extends into our bedding as well. Our straw bedding, in particular, aligns with this belief—it’s natural, clean, and entirely safe for horses to ingest if they’re curious.
Many of our clients tell us they appreciate that their bedding and forage aren’t in conflict. With straw bedding, you can feel confident that what’s underfoot isn’t a hazard if your horse decides to nibble.
Additionally, bedding that promotes stall hygiene supports healthier forage consumption. Cleaner stalls lead to healthier air, which improves appetite and reduces stress. It’s all connected—and we make sure your horse’s environment supports every part of their well-being.
Storage, Handling, and Delivery
At Greenway Animal Nutrition, we know that product quality also depends on handling and delivery. That’s why our bedding solutions are offered in multiple formats—baled, bagged, or pelleted—to suit your facility’s needs. Whether you prefer loose straw delivered by the truckload or compact, palletized horse bedding pellets, we’ve got a solution for you. Plus, thanks to our partnership with The Straw Boss, we can ensure that every product we supply meets our high standards for quality and consistency.
We also offer convenient delivery options and ongoing support to make managing your bedding supply stress-free.
Work with a Team That Cares
We don’t just sell animal feed—we support holistic care for animals from the ground up. Our knowledgeable team works with horse owners, barn managers, and agricultural professionals to help you find the right blend of forage, bedding, and support products for your operation.
Because we work so closely with The Straw Boss, you’re getting the benefit of two dedicated, experienced teams who care about horses as much as you do. Our bedding solutions are backed by years of hands-on experience, and we never stop looking for better ways to serve you and your animals.
