Straw is normally used for a bedding material, while hay is used as a feed supplement. Straw is dried out and works well for building nests and providing cushioning for animals to sleep in. It is not moist like hay and is unlikely to mold.
Straw is the traditional bedding for horses, with wheat straw being the most suitable. Oat and barley straw should not be used for equine bedding. Straw is relatively cheap, fairly easy to dispose of and looks warm, cosy and comfortable.
