Equine Bedding
Discover the Sundown range of horse bedding
We specialise in manufacturing the highest quality, purpose-made horse bedding from local, British straw.
100% British straw
We have full traceability on every bale that enters our production facility, and we keep our carbon footprint as low as possible by sourcing most of our straw from local farmers.
Low dust bedding
Our investment in a unique vacuum de-dusting process, which we perform twice on each bale, means our bedding products have very low levels of dust, for a healthy stable environment.
Sustainable bedding
Since 1998, Sundown has been producing sustainable, environmentally-friendly horse bedding to give the nation’s horses and ponies a good night’s rest.

Sundown innovation and product development
Convenient Packaging
Our branded bales and bags are made from 30% recycled plastic, and are themselves recyclable with soft plastics.
Our packing process wraps our chopped straw tightly and you’ll be surprised by just how much bedding you get from one bale!
Eucalyptus fragrance
In 1998, Sundown was the first manufacturer to add edible, food-grade eucalyptus fragrance to its horse bedding products, to improve the stable environment. It is still a key feature of our Sundown Green and Sundown Yellow bedding products, and now new Sundown Purple. Our customers often remark on how much they love the fresh scent of their bedding and how clean their horse’s stable smells.
Straw pellet innovation
In 2019 we launched Sun-e-bed, a new low-dust, soft straw pellet which makes mucking out a breeze. This 100% straw pellet bedding is easier to handle, store, and dispose of – and highly absorbent.
Choose Chopped Straw Horse Bedding For Better Horse Welfare
Despite straw being a traditional bedding material that’s been used for hundreds of years, it started to fall out of favour from the 1980s.
Recently, researchers, vets, and trainers within the equine industry have been encouraging the use of straw bedding to improve the welfare of stabled horses.
Chopped straw beings all the advantages to welfare with the convenience of being easy to manage.

Sundown works closely with farmers adding value to a by product of harvest. Not only is the straw for our bedding sourced locally, the used bedding is frequently spread back onto farmland providing a valuable nitrogen rich fertiliser. Sundown bedding provides you the choice to support British farmers and also to be mindful of sustainability #horsecare #horsemanagement #backbritishfarming #arablefarming #straw #horsebedding #horsebeddingstraw #horsebeddingstrawpellets #sustainablehorse #sustainablehorsecare #stablemanagement #arablefarminguk @sundownequine #equestrianlife #horsebeddingpremium #sundownequine
Backing British Farming. Sundown is a rural business working closely with local farmers. After the combines, our team bale the sun dried straw which is then taken to our mill to be chopped/pelleted and dedusted to make the best quality, sustainable horse bedding.#backbritishfarming #arable #harvest2025 #straw #strawharvest #strawharvest2025 #baling #sundownequine #horsebeddingstraw #strawhorsebedding
