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.

You may have used long straw this winter but find that you are left with an enormous muck heap to dispose of? 💚 Our chopped straw bales are much more efficient to work with meaning very little bedding has to be removed = smaller muck heap. 💚 Chopped straw rots down quicker than either long straw or wood based products.
💚 The used bedding quickly becomes a nitrogen rich compost ideal for putting back onto the land.

A horse with Cushings and respiratory problems needs special care. The lovely Pickles is bedded on a mix of our straw pellets ‘Sunebed’ and chopped miscanthus straw ‘Sundown Purple’ making a great low dust combination for a wet horse or pony. Both products are low dust, whilst Sundown Purple has a fresh eucalyptus fragrance and the straw pellets lock in any wet and unpleasant urine smell.

Maria is a busy horse owner balancing work with 3 horses on DIY livery. She has her first pony now 26yrs, a messy 16.2hh ‘hippo’ and Irish draught mare, Molly. Maria has tried lots of bedding types but finds a mix of Sundown Yellow and Purple works a treat. It’s great to hear how customers ‘mix and match’ our bedding products to suit their horses and lifestyle. #horsebedding #stablemanagement #sundownequine @sundownequine #horsecare #strawhorsebedding #horsecaretips #sustainablehorse #sustainablehorsecare
