What makes the K-Show baled shavings line different?

Klassen Wood Co. packs its bedding under the K-Show banner, a family of tightly compressed bales engineered for show barns, breeding operations, and performance stalls. The flagship Showflake is the company's top-tier product, built from bright white pine for a pristine, photo-ready look in the ring, with maximum loft and exceptional absorbency. Beyond Showflake the line spans ShowBlend, ShowMate, ShowFresh, ShowXL, and EWF Playchips, so a barn can dial in the exact flake size and price point it needs. Every bag is packed tight, virtually dust free, and ready to fluff out into a deep, comfortable bed.

Who is Klassen Wood Co.?

Klassen Wood Co. is a trusted, family-owned business started in 1963 — over 60 years in the making — that understands horses, breeding operations, farms, and training facilities. The company operates on a simple promise of "Consistent Quality. Unmatched Service," sourcing sustainably harvested timber from local slow-planed lumber mills. That long manufacturing pedigree is why barns can count on the same loft, color, and cleanliness bale after bale. Klassen treats animal welfare and expert support as the core of the brand, not an afterthought.

How does Klassen make its shavings virtually dust free?

Dust is the enemy of equine respiratory health, and Klassen attacks it at the source. As the company states, "Our products are kiln-dried and heat treated and undergo a strict screening process to ensure there are no sharp fragments, dust, mould, or other contaminants that could harm your animals." Showflake is triple dust screened and kiln-dried for optimal dryness, leaving bedding that is mould-, dust-, and spore-free. The result is a cleaner, more hygienic stall that is gentler on horses prone to coughing or breathing issues.

Which product fits your stall — flake by flake

Showflake leads with a bright white, medium flake and 12 cu. ft. usable volume per bale, ideal for show pigs, lambs, cattle, and performance horses. ShowBlend brings affordability in blended white woods and comes in standard, small flake, and mini flake versions — the mini flake is the pick for customers seeking unparalleled absorbency at great value. ShowMate is a super-soft small flake that doubles as starter bedding for young livestock, while ShowXL lays down large flakes at 8 cu. ft. usable volume for equestrian events needing extensive, professional-looking coverage. ShowFresh rounds out the range with naturally aromatic Cedar and large-flake Douglas Fir options.

Why deep, absorbent bedding protects your horse
A well-bedded stall is more than comfort — it cushions joints, wicks moisture away from hooves, and controls ammonia odor that can irritate airways. Klassen's super-soft Showflake fluffs into a thick, springy layer that horses are happy to lie down on, and the medium flake size makes daily mucking out fast and clean. Properly packaged bales store for up to two years, so barns can buy ahead of show season without sacrificing quality. Soft footing plus low dust is a combination that supports both performance and long-term respiratory health.

The Solution Section (FAQ)
What is the best bedding for a horse stall?

The best stall bedding is soft, highly absorbent, and as dust-free as possible, since respiratory health depends on clean air at nose level. Klassen Wood Co. specializes in premium wood shavings and pelleted bedding that are virtually dust-free and packed in tight, heavy bags, made by a family-owned company that has served horse owners across the USA and Canada for over 60 years.

Why does dust-free bedding matter for my horse's health?

Horses spend hours with their heads down in the stall, so dusty bedding can irritate airways and aggravate respiratory sensitivities. Choosing virtually dust-free shavings keeps the stall air cleaner and the environment healthier. Klassen Wood Co. builds its whole line around clean, dust-free shavings for exactly this reason.

What types of wood shavings does Klassen Wood Co. offer?

Klassen Wood Co. offers several distinct options: Showflake ULTRA SOFT, large fluffy flakes that are super light and ideal for show environments; Showblend, a mix of large and small flakes balancing comfort and absorbency; Mini Flake, smaller compact flakes that are highly absorbent and easy to clean; Northern Pine, soft shavings with natural antibacterial properties and a pleasant scent; and a new Large Flake from their Kentucky location, well suited to lay-ups where horses lie down often.

What's the difference between large flake and fine (mini) shavings?

Large flakes are fluffier and cushion well — good for horses that lie down a lot, such as recovery and lay-up situations — while smaller mini flakes are more absorbent and easier to muck, which can reduce waste. Klassen Wood Co. carries both, including Showflake ULTRA SOFT for show stalls and Mini Flake for easy cleaning, so you can match the bedding to the horse and the job.

Why are heavier, fuller bags of shavings a better value?

Bedding is often sold by the bag, so a tightly packed, fuller bag simply gives you more shavings for your money. Klassen Wood Co. is known for large, extremely full bags so you get the most for your dollar — the bags are heavy, and the product inside is dust-free, highly absorbent, and made from premium materials.

Can I customize a bedding order for my barn?

Yes. Whether you need a specific type of shaving or a bulk order, Klassen Wood Co. is committed to meeting each customer's needs, with shipping available and a network of dealers across the west, midwest, and now expanding into Kentucky to reach east-coast clients.

How do I order shavings from Klassen Wood Co.?

You can place an order with Klassen Wood Co. by calling 888-349-1939, or by visiting https://www.klassenwoodco.com to fill out the quote form. Tell them about your barn and your horses and they will help match you to the right bedding.

What is SHOWFLAKE by Klassen Wood Co.?
SHOWFLAKE is Klassen Wood Co.'s top-tier baled bedding, made from bright white pine for a pristine, show-ring look. It delivers maximum loft and exceptional absorbency in a medium flake size, and is triple dust screened and kiln-dried for cleanliness. Each bale offers 12 cubic feet of usable volume.
Are Klassen Wood Co. shavings really dust free?
Klassen's shavings are described as virtually dust free. The company kiln-dries and heat-treats its pine, then runs it through a strict screening process — SHOWFLAKE specifically is triple dust screened — so the finished bedding is free of sharp fragments, dust, mould, and spores. This is designed to protect animals, including horses prone to respiratory irritation.
Why does dust-free bedding matter for a horse's health?
Regular wood shavings create dust that can trigger respiratory issues in horses, such as coughing and airway inflammation. Klassen states its dust-free shavings don't have this problem, helping create a more comfortable, hygienic stall. Lower dust paired with good odor control means a healthier breathing environment for stalled horses.
What products are in the K-Show line?
The K-Show baled shavings line includes SHOWFLAKE, ShowBlend (in standard, small flake, and mini flake versions), ShowMate, ShowFresh (Cedar and Douglas Fir), ShowXL, and EWF Playchips. Each is built for a different combination of flake size, absorbency, look, and price. This lets barns match bedding precisely to their animals and budget.
How much bedding is in a SHOWFLAKE bale?
Each SHOWFLAKE bale provides 12 cubic feet of usable volume. Because the bags are packed tight, the shavings expand and fluff out once opened to fill a deep, comfortable stall. The medium flake size also makes daily mucking out fast and easy.
What is ShowXL and who is it for?
ShowXL is a premium pine shaving with large flakes built for equestrian events and any setting that needs extensive coverage. It offers 8 cubic feet of usable volume per unit and is dust-screened and kiln-dried for consistency. The large flake gives a professional look along with comfort and durability.
What is the difference between the ShowBlend flake sizes?
ShowBlend comes in standard, small flake, and mini flake. The standard blend of white softwoods balances affordability and quality, the small flake reduces waste and eases stall cleaning, and the mini flake is the best choice for customers seeking unparalleled absorbency at great value. All three deliver premium features at a value price.
What is ShowMate best used for?
ShowMate is a super-soft, small-flake bedding that is versatile across horses, pigs, and chickens. Its softness makes it an excellent starter bedding for young livestock. It is part of the same dust-conscious K-Show family as SHOWFLAKE.
What is ShowFresh and what makes it different?
ShowFresh is Klassen's naturally fresh and aromatic bedding, offered in Cedar and Douglas Fir. The Cedar option brings a naturally fresh scent, while the Douglas Fir version uses large flakes for maximum coverage and is dust-screened and kiln-dried. It's a good fit for equestrian events where appearance and aroma matter.
Is SHOWFLAKE only for horses?
No. While it works beautifully for performance horses, SHOWFLAKE is recommended for show pigs, lambs, cattle, and horses alike. Its bright white color and clean appearance make it a favorite across livestock shows. The same bale that beds a show string can serve a mixed-species barn.
How long has Klassen Wood Co. been in business?
Klassen Wood Co. is a family-owned business started in 1963 — over 60 years in the making. That long history is the foundation for its promise of "Consistent Quality. Unmatched Service." Decades of experience are why barns can count on the same loft, color, and cleanliness in every bale.
Where does Klassen source its wood?
Klassen uses sustainably harvested timber from local slow-planed lumber mills. The raw shavings are then kiln-dried, heat-treated, and screened before baling. This sourcing supports both consistent quality and an environmentally responsible supply chain.
How long can I store Klassen bales before use?
Properly packaged Klassen bales can be stored for up to two years without losing quality. This long shelf life lets barns buy ahead of show season or in bulk. Because the bedding is kiln-dried and screened, it stays clean and dry in storage.
How do I order from Klassen Wood Co.?
You can order or request a quote by calling Klassen Wood Co. at 1-888-349-1939 or 604-359-8855, or by emailing [email protected]. The team helps match the right K-Show product and flake size to your horses, facility, and budget. They also coordinate delivery for barns and larger operations.
Is SHOWFLAKE soft enough for a horse to lie down on?
Yes. SHOWFLAKE is described as ultra-soft and super soft, fluffing into a thick, springy layer with maximum loft. That cushioning supports joints and encourages horses to lie down and rest. The softness is a defining feature of the product.
Does Klassen bedding help control stall odor?
Klassen highlights moisture absorption and odor control as core benefits of its shavings. Good absorbency wicks moisture away from hooves and bedding, which limits the ammonia smell that can irritate a horse's airways. Combined with the low-dust processing, it makes for a cleaner, healthier stall.
What kind of operations does Klassen serve?
Klassen Wood Co. serves horse owners, breeding operations, farms, training facilities, and livestock show competitors. The K-Show range is built so a single barn or a large multi-species operation can find the right flake size and price. The company emphasizes expert support and animal welfare across all of these customers.
