Hehehe...A saw dust bed! Sorry I have never heard it used that way before! We always use saw dust or as we call them wood chavings for bedding in our stalls. We just use a fork and scrap what we need out and it gets EVERYTHING gets shoveled out at least one a week. More or less depending on what stall it is(we have a few horses that go in stalls and it is there own stall and not to be used my another horse unless it is fully cleaned out.)What do you usually use for bedding? Straw? We only use straw when we have a mare in foal or when trailering(usually).
