9. Expert opinion – ferrier
• Expert opinion on using product „EQ-BEDDING“ as horse stable bedding
• This expert opinion is based upon hooves condition of Holsteiner's mare
Rassante before and after placing „EQ-BEDDING“ into her stable box.
• The mare lives in an English box with concrete floor surface covered with straw bedding. During my first
visit (December 3rd 2011) I noticed mostly on hind hooves, the White Line Disease which looks something
like this:

10. Expert opinion – ferrier
• I pointed out on unsustainability of such a condition and also warned that
condition can get even worse. I trimmed the hooves and removed all the necrotic
parts of infected hoof wall.
• During my next visit (February 17th, 2012) because of the fact the bedding type
was still the same (straw), I found advanced White Line Disease. Hooves had very
strong odor of urine and manure and were very soft and moist. I trimmed the
hooves removing significant parts of infected hoof wall. The hooves looked
something like this:

11. Expert opinion – ferrier
• At that moment, the stable manager decided to replace straw bedding with EQ-BEDDING. During my next visit
(March 6th, 2012), so three weeks after start of using EQ-BEDDING I noticed tremendous improvement of hooves
condition. I haven't found any sign of new infected and necrotic tissue. The frog was healthy, solid, and compact.
In collateral grooves as well as in central sulcus of the frog I found no trace of infection. The white line had normal
yellowish color all the length long. The surfaces around bars, heel buttresses and the seat-of-corn was clean and
sound. I haven't noticed any new sign of pathological changes on the sole. Hoof wall started to show the sign of
recovery and healthy growth. Hooves were completely odorless and dry.
• Based on the information presented, I could conclude that EQ-BEDDING prepossesses horny tissues, its healthy
growth and development. It also eliminates extremely negative influence of urine and manure to sensitive hoof
structures and tissues. It significantly decrease the dampness in the horse boxes what is very important for hooves
health, respiratory system health as well as overall soundness of the horse.

12. Expert opinion –Vet.
• During studies of this new type of horse bedding, undertaken from 08March 04th April
2012, under veterinary supervision, no pathological changes were observed.
• Prior to using the bedding, all horses were subjected to general veterinary
examination aswell as blood tests. During examinations, no external signs of respiratory
or skin disease, or pathological changes to the hooves were noticed. The blood
samples which were subjected to haematological searches resulted in normal
physiological findings for the group of horses considering their ages and gender.
• Careful observation of hooves showed an improved condition, considering the fact that
the hoof capsule was in direct and constant contact with the bedding.
• General veterinary examinations and blood tests were carried out 3 times. The first
being on the day the bedding was placed in the boxes, the second time on the tenth
day of use, and the third time on the last day. Throughout all tests involving a total of
15 blood samples, no changes were observed, and parameters were maintained within
the normal reference ranges.
• Whilst using the bedding, the horses showed no signs of skin allergies, or
pathological changes to hooves, or respiratory system, or in their general health status.
• Moreover, tests showed that the bedding absorbs fluids (urine and liquid faeces) and
thus contributes to a better quality of hooves. The hoof capsule remains dry the entire
time, greatly contributing to hoof hygiene aswell as easing the work of the
groom. Aditionally, the horses' coats did not lose their shine and remained clean
and tidy at all times.
