ALPENSPAN

Dedusted premium horse bedding

AlpenSpan – What horses like

AlpenSpan is the high-quality, dedusted wood shavings bedding from Johann Pabst Holzindustrie. Since 1990, the company has been processing spruce shavings from its own solid wood production into a highly absorbent and fluffy bedding for horses. AlpenSpan is used, among others, at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna and in the context of international tournaments such as the CHIO Aachen. Defined quality characteristics are checked regularly.

From shavings to top quality

AlpenSpan is made from spruce shavings produced during the manufacture of solid wood products in Zeltweg. Drying, screening and extraction in a cyclone filter system reduce the dust content. Information on residual dust, absorbency and compostability is provided on the basis of current tests.

For a voluminous base mattress, we recommend three to four bales to start with, depending on the size of the stall. With the recommended use, one bale is often sufficient for weekly top dressing. Actual consumption depends on the stall, the horse and stable management.

The dust content is reduced by separating coarse and fine particles and by extraction in filter systems. Current test values for residual dust are given in the product information.

AlpenSpan is made from spruce shavings from Pabst’s solid wood production. The shavings are produced at the Zeltweg site and processed there into bedding. Origin shares and product properties are stated on the basis of current procurement and test data.

The bales are packaged in recyclable film and can be stacked in niches or under canopies to save space. Stored on Euro pallets and protected from permanent direct exposure to the weather, the bedding can be stored for up to one year.
