Arden Promoting Safemix Equestrian at NES 2026

Arden at the National Equine Show

Equestrian enthusiasts flocked to the Arden Wood Shavings stand at the National Equine Show on 28th February and 1st March 2026 at the NEC Birmingham. Arden’s amazing prizes included ‘once in a lifetime experiences’ to meet, or enjoy a training session, with international showjumper and trainer, Robert Smith; international dressage trainer and rider, Michael Eilberg; Champion show pony rider and producer, Lauren Brill, and of course, the newest recruit to ‘Team Arden’, international showjumping sensation, Jack Whitaker.

Our popular Safemix Equestrian Bedding

As well as the popular competitions and giveaways on Arden’s perpetually busy stand, were some serious conversations with horse owners about Safemix Equestrian bedding. Many were keen to learn more about how this affordable, consistently high-quality equine bedding, could benefit their horses and ponies, and were pleasantly surprised about its competitive pricing. They were also pleased to learn that Safemix Equestrian could be delivered directly to their yards, in either full/half artic loads, or as individual pallets of 30 bales.

Why choose Safemix Equestrian bedding for your horse?

Safemix Equestrian is a blend of specially selected woodshavings and shredded soft woodfibre, developed especially for horses. Soft to the touch, and ultra-clean, one of its key attributes is its absorbency. When using Safemix, horses enjoy a drier bed for longer allowing them to relax in their stables in comfort. Dust-extracted with superior sanitisation, Safemix is a hygienic choice and one that is less likely to aggravate horses’ respiratory systems.

We always enjoy our time at the National Equine Show, meeting new and existing customers and showcasing our horse bedding are just some of the reasons why we visit year on year. We will be exhibiting again in 2027, ready to do it all again.

“We are delighted with the interest shown in Safemix Equestrian at the National Equine Show. Not only did we get to meet new faces, but we also connected with existing customers who were full of praise for our flagship horse bedding product, both in terms of performance and price,”
