Five Star Economy

virgin wood pellets at low prices

We recognise that for many, price rather than performance is the deciding factor when choosing bedding in this difficult economic climate, but at the same time we are concerned that some horse owners are purchasing poor quality pellets which for a number of reasons are totally unsuitable for bedding.

If you check out other economy pellets you will find they contain recycled wood.  We get to test a lot of different pellets and in our experience pellets made from recycled wood definitely have the lowest absorption factor and contain the most dust.  And although they can be made cheaper, no-one can guarantee the type, the quality or the history of the wood that goes into making them. To help you save costs and avoid the problems associated with recycled pellets, we offer totally new and very low dust Five Star Economy virgin wood pellets.

These are manufactured more cheaply by using mainly spruce rather than more expensive white pine which is used in our premium pellets.  This makes the economy pellets and bedding a shade darker.  They are also manufactured locally and we deliver direct from the pellet factory, saving costly transport.  These pellets conform to European Standard CEN/TS 14961 (a solid bio fuel standard which does not specify the maximum amount of dust allowed in a wood pellet, despite what some unscrupulous wood pellet companies want you to believe) so can be safely used in pellet burning equipment.
