It saves on cleaning time and keeps the footing dryer. It also reduces the smell of ammonia that you normally have in sand or dirt runs. The product we are using is Perma Stall Plus and they do have a website. The drawback in wet weather is that it floats away. The horses may nibble on it when you first add it, but have not had any digestive upsets. Please do not hesitate to ask any other questions....Jackie.

This is so interesting!! I am sure that there are many ways that you can reduce your carbon footprint on your horse property. Although I haven't read it yet (opps), the Worldwatch Institute (an environmental think-tank in DC) released a paper on mitigating climate change through land use! Here is the link: http://www.worldwatch.org/node/6126 I know the publication discusses how to manage soil to soak up the maximum amount of carbon, but I am sure other issues will be relevant to your Green Property too! I will bring you a copy when I come to look at Honey in September. See you soon! Lola Hi Diana!
