Loved by competitors

Competitors regularly say how happy they are to see Sundown bedding available at their event. It’s easy to create a bed and only a few bales are required, which reduces set-up time on arrival.

Very low dust, even in the height of summer, so it’s suitable for all horses.

Easy distribution & disposal

Our bales are more convenient to store and distribute than long straw and tidier to manage on-site.

Chopped straw takes up less room in muck-heaps or trailers, and it speeds up the decomposition process.

Disposal of used Sundown bedding after your event is considerably easier (and cheaper) than with wood shavings.

Suitable for all stabling

Whether you’ve got permanent or temporary stabling at your event, Sundown bedding is suitable for all.

On grass, stables remain free-draining and dry, with bedding easily removed after the event.

On hard surfaces, the bedding quickly absorbs urine, to prevent stables becoming wet and smelly.

Flexible Deliveries

We deliver bedding direct to your venue or event site, and our lorries are equipped with forklift trucks for off-loading onto hard standing if required.

We can deliver bedding in one go, or spread it out over a number of days depending on the length of your competition or needs over the season.

Event Organisers Love Sundown

Tim Vestey, Pony Club Chairman

We have been using Sundown Yellow Bedding for the past five years at the JCB Pony Club Championships. The chopped rape straw is easy to make into a comfortable bed, its eucalyptus fragrance is pleasant but also not palatable, so there is no risk that greedy horses will eat it. The bedding is absorbent and competitively priced. Sundown are incredibly easy to deal with, offering highly flexible deliveries which respond to the unpredictability of demand. Chopped rape straw biodegrades more quickly than any other bedding option, breaking down quickly once spread on the grass paddocks at Offchurch. We are delighted to have engaged with the trusted and reliable Sundown team, who do their level best to ensure that our requirements are met or exceeded at all times.

Georgie Dickinson, BEDE Events

Sundown bedding offers so many benefits not only to the riders but to the events we hold. We have saved a substantial amount of money when it comes to disposing of the stable waste after an event since moving to Sundown. Farmers are happy to take the waste and spread on the fields, unlike when we previously used shavings and had to pay more money to get it removed. The scarring on the floor is also reduced when the stables are down and muck is gone. We find a lot of competitors only need the two bales we supply, especially on a dry event, which shows how good the bedding is. I can’t recommend your bedding highly enough!
