How Does Champion Shavings View Their Clients?

Champion Shavings is committed to not only providing the highest quality in horse bedding and bagged wood shavings, but also to you, our customer. We believe in prompt, reliable service, ensuring that you are completely satisfied with every purchase. Our staff is always friendly, efficient, and dedicated to answering any questions or concerns that you may have… best of all, we stay in communication with you from the moment your order arrives until the shavings are delivered so you can enjoy peace of mind!

What Advantage Does Kiln-Dried Shavings Offer My Horses?

It is a matter of choice. Some clear advantages of kiln-drying shavings is that the resulting chips are very dry, highly absorbent, and keep the bag from “sweating” (moisture that can develop in the bag after packaging). However, the drier the wood, the smaller the flakes tend to be. Our clients Love our smaller flakes as it helps to make ‘sifting’ easier during stall clean up — helping you to keep as many shavings as possible. Champion Shavings has strict specifications for all flake sizes and moisture content… many leading trainers and stables insist upon working with Champion and depend upon the superior bedding we offer to keep their horses comfortable and clean. When you decide to join our family of happy clients— you will see why!

How Can Working With Champion Shavings Help My Horse With Allergies?

Many horse owners try to cut expense by using truck loads of loose shavings— but the dust and debris can have a financial impact from resulting vet bills, and a cut back in the performance of your horse. We believe that using a bagging line that dust-screens goes a great distance in removing extraneous and harmful dust particles. If you choose to use un-bagged (bulk) shavings, you must be prepared to accept dust (a known carcinogen) and possibly debris (which may be uncomfortable for your horses or other animals) in stalls. The clients that work with Champion Shavings enjoy bagged shavings that are dust and debris- Free… and this goes a long way to help the health, and performance of your horse!

What Bedding Selections Are Available At Champion Shavings?

Our Bagged, Dust Free – 100% Dust-Screened Shavings!
Our shavings have been rigorously screened to eliminate dust particles. This means that you and your horses will be free from respiratory irritants that originate in un-screened shavings (commonly found in bulk, blown-in, or “dumped” shavings). Our pine wood shavings have been both kiln and air-dried before bagging to remove all excess moisture that would otherwise add unnecessary weight to the bag, and may attract further unwanted irritants such as mold. Our pine shavings are so absorbent that they will form a solid ‘cake’ when used that can easily be forked or “mucked” out of stalls Our shaving flakes are available in a variety of sizes: We can customize your order of shavings to be any size: from fine, to medium, large, to extra large. While we find that the majority of our customers prefer a medium flake, we believe that it is ultimately up to you to choose what shaving size you prefer to work with.

What makes Champion Shavings the bedding serious horse owners reach for?

Champion Shavings Corporation produces premium bagged pine wood shavings and pelleted bedding, manufactured from 100% softwood lumber and compressed into durable, heat-sealed plastic bags with a guaranteed labeled expanded volume. Each bag is built water-resistant and UV-proof with a gusseted handle for easy carrying, so the bedding stays clean and dry from the loading dock to the stall. The shavings are dust-screened, kiln- and air-dried, and rigorously sorted to remove crunchy fragments and oversized wood debris before bagging. The result is a consistent, low-moisture flake that absorbs hard and forks out clean.

What goes into the shavings and pellets?

The wood shavings are 100% softwood pine, dust-screened and both kiln- and air-dried to strip out excess moisture for maximum absorbency. Flakes are available in fine, medium, large, and extra-large sizes and can be customized by order, with the medium flake being the most popular choice for horse stalls. The Equine Pellets line comes in 40 lb (18 kg) bags that are all natural with no additives, 100% screened and vacuumed for virtually no dust, sterile, and 100% biodegradable. One bag of pellets absorbs up to 22 gallons of water.

How do the shavings and pellets actually perform in the stall?

Champion's pine shavings are so absorbent they form a solid "cake" where the horse wets, so soiled bedding lifts out in one piece and can be forked or mucked out quickly without sifting clean material away. The Equine Pellets work differently: you start with roughly 5 to 6 bags depending on stall size, moisten them to trigger expansion, then each day pull the saturated spots and blend the damp pellets into the drier bedding so the bed stays slightly moist to the touch. Both systems are designed to reduce ammonia and odor, cut labor and storage space, and keep stalls cleaner, drier, and healthier. Topping off with a few pellets and a little water keeps the bed working day after day.

Who is Champion Shavings bedding built for?

Champion serves a broad range of operations, from backyard horse owners to large boarding barns and the equestrian show circuit, where its show shavings are a familiar name on the grounds. Beyond horses, the same screened softwood bedding is used for show pigs, poultry, and dairy operations, making it a versatile choice for mixed-animal farms. The customizable flake sizing lets owners match coarse, fluffy bedding for deep stalls or finer material where dust control and easy mucking matter most. Whether you want traditional shavings or a low-dust, biodegradable pellet, there is a Champion product matched to the job.

The Solution Section (FAQ)

What does Champion Shavings Corporation sell for horse stalls?

Champion Shavings supplies high-quality bagged pine shavings and pelleted bedding for horses. Founded in December 2004, the company sells bagged shavings to equestrian shows, feed stores, and private farms throughout the United States and Canada. Their shavings are made from pine and bagged after drying so you get a clean, consistent bedding product.

Are Champion Shavings dust free, and why does that matter for my horse?

Yes. The shavings are 100% dust-screened on a bagging line that removes extraneous dust particles, so they are bagged dust and debris free. Champion Shavings notes that the dust found in un-screened bulk, blown-in, or dumped shavings is a known respiratory irritant, and screening it out helps protect the health and performance of your horse. This is a key difference from loose, un-bagged shavings.

What is the advantage of kiln-dried shavings?

Kiln-dried chips come out very dry and highly absorbent, and the dryness keeps the bag from sweating, which is moisture that can develop inside the bag after packaging. The drier the wood, the smaller the flakes tend to be, and Champion's clients like that smaller flakes make sifting easier during stall clean-up so you keep as many shavings as possible. Champion's pine shavings are both kiln and air-dried before bagging to remove excess moisture that adds weight and can attract mold.

What flake sizes does Champion Shavings offer?

Champion can customize your order of shavings to any size, from fine to medium, large, or extra large. Most customers prefer a medium flake, but the company believes the choice is ultimately up to you and what you prefer to work with. They hold strict specifications for flake size and moisture content across every order.

What is Champion's pelleted horse bedding, and what are its benefits?

Champion's pelleted bedding comes in 40 lb (18 kg) bags and is all natural with no additives, sterile, and 100% biodegradable. It makes cleaner, drier, healthier stalls, reduces ammonia and odor, is screened and vacuumed for virtually no dust, and one bag absorbs up to 22 gallons of water while saving on labor, space, and waste-removal costs. Because the pellets can form a footing similar to soft dirt, they can benefit horses with joint or hoof issues.

Should I choose shavings or pelleted bedding for my horse?

It comes down to your horse and your preference. Champion's pelleted bedding can form into a clean, dust-free footing similar to soft dirt, which may benefit horses with joint or hoof issues, while the bagged pine shavings are so absorbent they form a solid cake that can be forked or mucked out easily. Champion suggests trying both selections to see which one best suits your individual horses.

How does ordering and shipping work, and is there a minimum order?

Champion Shavings ships from any of its ten manufacturing facilities on both the East and West Coasts of the United States and Canada, sending your order from the facility closest to your delivery location to minimize cost and delivery time.

They also guarantee reliable communication from the moment your order is placed until it is delivered.

What is Champion Shavings?

Champion Shavings Corporation is a North American manufacturer of premium bagged pine wood shavings and pelleted bedding for horses and other livestock. Founded in December 2004, the company supplies equestrian shows, feed stores, and private farms across the United States and Canada. Its bagged shavings are dust-screened, kiln-dried, and packaged in heat-sealed bags with a guaranteed expanded volume.

What is Champion Shavings made of?

Champion's wood shavings are made from 100% softwood pine lumber. The material is dust-screened to remove fine dust particles, then both kiln-dried and air-dried before bagging to strip out excess moisture. Crunchy fragments and oversized wood debris are sorted out with custom screeners so only consistent, absorbent flakes go into each bag.

How absorbent are Champion pine shavings?

Champion's pine shavings are kiln- and air-dried for low moisture content, which gives them strong absorbency. They are so absorbent that they form a solid 'cake' where the horse wets, so the soiled bedding lifts out in one piece. That makes it easy to fork or muck out only the dirty material while leaving the clean bedding behind.

What are Champion Equine Pellets?

Equine Pellets are Champion's pelleted horse-bedding alternative to traditional shavings. They come in 40 lb (18 kg) bags, are all natural with no additives, sterile, and 100% biodegradable. The pellets are 100% screened and vacuumed for virtually no dust, and one bag can absorb up to 22 gallons of water.

How do you set up a stall with Champion Equine Pellets?

Begin with roughly 5 to 6 bags depending on the dimensions of the stall. Spread the pellets and moisten them with water to trigger the expansion process, which breaks the pellets down into a soft, absorbent bed. Adjust the number of bags based on your results and the comfort of your animal.

How do you maintain a pellet-bedded stall day to day?

Each day, remove the saturated spots and blend the damp bedding into the drier areas so the bed stays slightly moist to the touch. Supplement with additional pellets as needed and apply small amounts of water to keep the moisture level right. This routine keeps the bed working while reducing labor compared with traditional bedding.

Do Champion's products reduce ammonia and odor?

Yes. The Equine Pellets are designed to reduce ammonia and unpleasant odors, helping create cleaner, drier, and healthier stalls. Because the pellets are sterile and absorb up to 22 gallons of water per bag, they lock up moisture and waste efficiently, which keeps the stall environment fresher for the horse.

Are Champion Equine Pellets dust-free?

They are very low dust. Champion states the pellets are 100% screened and vacuumed for virtually no dust, which makes them a good choice for horses or handlers sensitive to respiratory irritation. The traditional wood shavings are also dust-screened to eliminate fine dust particles before bagging.

Are Champion Equine Pellets environmentally friendly?

Yes. The Equine Pellets are all natural with no additives and are 100% biodegradable. They also reduce waste volume and removal expenses because the saturated material breaks down compactly, and they require less storage space than baled or loose bedding.

Where is Champion Shavings located and where do they ship?

Champion Shavings Corporation is headquartered at 933400 Airport Road, Mono, Ontario, Canada L9W 6C3. The company operates ten manufacturing facilities on the East and West Coasts of both the United States and Canada, allowing it to supply customers across North America with fast, reliable shipping from a facility near them.

Can Champion Shavings be used for animals other than horses?

Yes. While Champion is best known for equine bedding, the same screened softwood shavings are used for show pigs, poultry, and dairy operations. This makes it a practical single-source bedding for mixed-animal farms that want one consistent, low-dust product across different barns.

How long has Champion Shavings been in business?

Over that time it has grown to ten manufacturing facilities serving the show circuit, feed stores, and farms across the United States and Canada.

Why do equestrian shows choose Champion Shavings?

Champion is a familiar name on the show grounds because its bagged shavings arrive clean, dry, and consistent in heat-sealed bags with a guaranteed expanded volume.
