My horse has to go on box rest for a couple of months. What sort of bedding options are there for horses who struggle with dust?

A Hannah Bottomley answers:
Extended periods of time in the stable may aggravate your horse’s respiratory system due to the increased amount of airborne dust particles he’ll come into contact with. Classic beddings, such as straw or by-product shavings can be particularly bad for aggravating such issues as they’re known to breed in a dusty environment.
