Hi All, Please can anyone help me . I live in Sunny Somerset and i am desperately looking for someone that can help supply me with good wood shavings, I have 2 horses and i am struggling to get them locally from the shops, so am hoping someone on here might be able to help me or know someone who may. I do not mind travelling to collect them. Many thanks BoSLady

We have a couple of members who keep horses in North Devon. Hopefully one of them will be along soon and will be able to tell you where they get theirs from.

Try your local agri merchant. Most stock it in plastic wrapped bales. Richard

Yes, we get ours like that from our local Farmer's Co-op and it's excellent value and good quality.

WE get ours from Mole Valley Farmers, our local ag merchant. They are having trouble getting them though, because of the downturn in the building trade, apparently

My family used to live in Devon/Somerset/Dorest (South Chard). I loved going to Mole Valley Farmers.

I do too. Somehow I always spend more than I anticipated when I am in there!

Other women spend too much in shoe shops, handbag shops, at perfume counters...

or plant nurseries or wool shops or material shops or on Ascotts web site - went to buy some jars from there the other day and a new preserving pan accidentally fell into my electronic basket

- its very pretty though and has got a good solid base

Gods help me when I go to the BBKA Annual Convention in April next year - very very deep purses needed apparently

You live near a web site

Do you mean you're a virtual person? But I've slept with you

You know what you are, don't you, Mrs?

Just waiting for the responses now... Where is NL, by the way?

Ditto. I sometimes schedule in an extra day just so we can visit

have you tried Sparkford Sawmills or Yandles in Martock? No idea if they supply woodshavings, though, but they must generate them
