"Surfactants & the mantle piece"

Ever looked at the ingredient list on the back of a dog/human shampoo bottle? 🧴

The first 2-4 things on the list are almost always surfactants. Not all surfactants work the same way, & how they are combined & balanced in a shampoo is crucial to your dog’s largest organ, the skin—because their skin is not like ours.

Read our latest blog post where we distill the science behind Surfactants & the all important 'mantle piece'—do you know what that is? 🤔

Wondering “how many bags you need for a X sized stable with Y type floors”?

Have you tried the HERDD bedding calculator on HERDD.nz?

It helps you calculate how many 22KG bags of HERDD bedding you would need in your specific set up.

We always say to people starting out with HERDD bedding, to start with 1 less bag as once you start activating your first HERDD “Base bed”, you’ll see just how much it expands. You can always add in another half or full bag if you like, or save that one for a once-per-fortnight top up 👌🏼

This just popped up on our feed 💕 How cute is little super pony Jason (owned by EventStars) resting on his cosy HERDD bed 💤

It's a great photo showing how a HERDD bedding top-up can refresh an existing bed & boost its absorbency & longevity.

We recommend topping up 1x 22KG bag per fortnight to keep your "Base beds" in good knick, along with daily mucking out & ventilation 🎠

Some of our stables just needed a wee top up so we had our first ‘play’ with the HERDD bedding (I say play, as I both enjoyed making it grow and Jason enjoyed the mixing it in part!). 👏

🌌 TWILIGHT NAVY ✨

We have renamed our 'Twilight Navy' riding breeches {previously 'Winter Navy'} as we have got feedback from so many of you that say these are for all seasons!

If you don't want to feel like you are wearing 'togs' on your legs riding, you'll love the extra supportive HERDD merch Twilight Navy performance tight, because...

✨ They are secure & flattering around the waist, bum, thigh & leg
🌌 The deep inky navy blue is a colour that not only slims the silhouette, it also complements many colours {including our HERDD floral base layers}
💫 They have a discrete silicone full seat grip {transparent} for a secure feel in the saddle & VERY discrete, classic branding
🌟 They are an amazing price! International brand quality for just NZ$148
