I have secured a stable at my yard and have decided to try cardboard bedding in an attempt to be more environmentally friendly and also to save some money. But I can only find companies willing to deliver by the palletload so was wondering if anyone else in the Bristol area would like to go halves with me as I don't have anywhere to store 20-30 bales at a time?
Failing that, does anyone else in the area use cardboard bedding, and where do you buy it from?
Thanks a lot! :)

Thanks for the feedback - I'm hoping my yearling will live out all year as he's a filthy beast (will only bring him in if it's absolutely foul and he demans in) but my mare who will use the stable most (for keeping her off the grass due to being a laminitis risk) is spotlessly tidy (always wees and poos in the same place and takes max 5 minutes to muck out each day).
