Dust-Free · 8–10× Absorbent · 100% Organic · Natural Odour Control
Avee Cocoseller supplies premium coco coir bales to horse stables and livestock farms across Canada and the USA — factory-direct pricing, same-week dispatch from Ontario.
Wood shavings, straw, and peat moss have been the default for decades. Coco coir outperforms all of them on moisture control, dust, ammonia, and cost — and your horses will feel the difference in the first week.
That is 2–3 times more than wood shavings and 4 times more than straw. Wet patches stay in one spot and do not spread through the whole bed. Spot-picking takes a fraction of the time. Your stall stays genuinely dry between changes, reducing the bacteria load that causes thrush and skin problems in horses that stand in wet bedding.
Wood shavings and straw push fine particulate dust through your barn every time you fork them. For horses with heaves (RAO), COPD, or any respiratory sensitivity, this is a serious problem. Coco coir is sieved before packaging — no fine dust particles, cleaner air for horses and staff, and significantly reduced risk of respiratory flare-ups in sensitive animals.
Coco coir naturally suppresses the bacteria that convert urea into ammonia. The result is noticeably better barn air quality within the first week of switching — and up to 90% fewer flies and mosquitoes compared to straw bedding. Fewer flies means less stress on your horses, less fly repellent product cost, and a cleaner environment for staff working in the barn daily.
Coco coir is 100% organic and carries no pathogens. When your bed is spent, used coir and horse manure composts together into an excellent soil amendment that improves structure, water retention, and organic content in pasture or garden soil. Many stables across Ontario, BC, and the US Northeast partner with local market gardeners or greenhouse growers who collect the used bedding at no charge — eliminating your disposal cost entirely.

Measure your stall. A 12×12 foot stall needs 5–6 bales for a full initial bed at 6–8 inches depth. A 10×10 needs 4 bales. A 14×14 needs 7–8 bales. Use the yield guide to the right to plan your first order and weekly top-up volume.
Place the compressed bale in the stall or a tub. Add approximately 4–5 litres of water per bale. Allow 10–15 minutes to fully expand. The bale will swell to 5× its compressed size. Break up any clumps with a fork.
Distribute the expanded coir evenly across the stall floor to 6–8 inches depth. Rake level. The surface is ready immediately — no drying time required. No machinery or special equipment needed, just a pitchfork.
Wet patches stay localised with coco coir — they do not migrate through the bed like shavings. Remove soiled areas daily with a fork. Top up with 1–2 fresh bales per stall per week. Total mucking time per stall is typically 30–40% less than with wood shavings.
When the bed is fully spent, remove and add to your compost heap with horse manure. Used coco coir breaks down into premium organic soil amendment. Many stables arrange free collection by local greenhouse operators — zero disposal cost and zero landfill.
