About Husk Bedding
“Husk Bedding creates a paddock-like environment inside the horse’s stable — a safe & healthy haven that is dust-free, hypoallergenic, mentally stimulating, and physiologically beneficial for horses.”
What Is Husk Bedding?
Husk Bedding is a sustainable coconut-based horse bedding solution formulated to replicate a natural earth/paddock like environment in horses’ stables, for the physiological and mental well being of stabled horses.
Husk Bedding is made by extracting properties purely from the husk of a coconut. Coconut husk harnesses many of characteristics that benefit horses and other large animals, making Husk bedding a superior bedding solution for stabled horses. Through years of research, decades of experience as equestrians ourselves using conventional beddings, and our own unique processing techniques, we proudly conserve all the natural benefits of the coconut husk, and have created in our opinion the best horse bedding in the world that is equine-centric.
Husk Bedding is a revolutionary bedding solution that is made by equestrians, for equestrians. Not a single tree is cut down to produce Husk Bedding. Horses need and deserve healthy environments to live in, and Husk Bedding provides a safe haven for horses that is not only a sustainable solution to the bedding crisis that exists in cutting down trees for animal bedding, but is a solution that is far superior to any wood shaving, straw, or paper horse bedding for horses health, the barn environment, and the planet.
We work from the source in Sri Lanka using 100% fresh Sri Lankan origin coconuts to produce the highest standard of equine bedding, adhering to strict quality standards to bring the best out of Husk Bedding.
Our mission is to create a paddock-like environment inside the horse's stable — a haven that is dust-free, hypoallergenic, mentally stimulating, and physiologically beneficial for stabled horses around the world, and ensure horses have healthy stable environments.

Benefits of Husk Bedding for Horses
250% less dust than wood shavings, and straw after agitated, leading to many respiratory benefits for horses and grooms alike.
Inhibits scent of ammonia & natural earthy fragrance - Due to Husk Bedding’s amazing, natural anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties, Husk Bedding inhibits the conversion of urea into ammonia resulting in no off-gas odour from horses’ urine in the stable and barn! This provides great physiological and mental health benefits for horses and grooms alike.
Helps prevent reproduction of flies and insects with anti-bacterial properties
Husk Bedding is hyper absorbent as it soaks up to 8X its volume. This ability to work as a sponge soaks up extra moisture around horses’ hooves helping to prevent cracking, soft feet, and sore heels, and as Husk bedding provides gentle compaction in horses hooves, it provides stability in horses’ footing and aids the hemodynamic flow in their bodies unlike conventional beddings.
Husk Bedding is made to resemble a paddock - Husk Bedding’s fibers provide proven physiological and mental benefits to horses, including longer lateral lying (deep rest) time and aiding the hemodynamic flow in horses joints. A study conducted by the Equine Research Institute in Japan and Japan Racing Association in Japan comparing wood shavings, straw, saw dust and coconut derivative bedding, showed that horses bedded with the coconut based fibers, the base fibers that exist in Husk Bedding, experienced increased lateral rest time and greater orthopedic benefits compared to horses bedded with straw, wood shavings, and sawdust.
Naturally anti-fungal, anti-microbial, and anti-bacterial, Husk Bedding is excellent for the health of a horse’s coats and provides a clean and safe environment for lacerations to heal.
Husk Bedding is unpalatable to horses unlike conventional beddings making Husk Bedding a very safe bedding solution for horses.
Husk Bedding is hypoallergenic and thus provides an excellent solution for horses with skin issues, breathing difficulty, and breeds that have sensitive skin.
Husk Bedding is a all-season bedding. Husk Bedding naturally possesses insulative properties making it fantastic for storing heat and keeping horses in the stable warm in winter and, as Husk Bedding can be moistened, Husk Bedding provides a great source of relief and cooling for horses in hot summer months. Husk Bedding is a versatile bedding solution for comfort for horses all year around.
