From the ranch, for the ranch
Mother Nature's Healing Line and the working products your animals stand on.
Mother Nature's Soothing Poultice
Healing LineCompare to Sore No More
The healing line's flagship, and the one the live site compares directly to Sore No More. A thick mineral-based poultice for sore joints, muscles and tendons after hard work. Made with naturally occurring minerals rather than chemicals. It shares some minerals with the Bandage and the Tums, but it is not the same formula — each of the three is built for one job, and this one is the external poultice. Order online, or ask any questions through the Contact page.

Mother Nature's Bandage
Healing LineFirst-aid healing mineral paste
First-aid healing mineral paste in a syringe tube, for cuts and scrapes. It draws out inflammation and lets the wound form a natural protective scab. One customer's account, in their words: a horse had a wound nothing would heal over a couple of years, across different products and different vets, until a free sample of this finally closed it. We share that because it happened, not as a promise — every animal is different, and anything serious belongs in front of your veterinarian. Order online.
$14
Mother Nature's Tums
Healing LineEquine stress relief paste
Equine stress-relief mineral paste in a syringe, for sensitive stomachs. It soothes the stomach lining, neutralizes acids and absorbs toxins. Same family as the Poultice and the Bandage and some shared minerals, but a distinct formula for digestive and stress support rather than external use. If your horse has ongoing digestive trouble, talk to your vet as well — this is barn support, not a diagnosis. Order online, or ask any questions through the Contact page.

Mother Nature's Dry Stall
Bedding & FootingVolcanic black pumice — 3/8" minus & 1/4" minus
Naturally occurring volcanic black pumice that absorbs up to four times its weight in moisture, controls odor, and stays microbe-friendly. Chemical-free, and it lasts months rather than days — which is why it costs less over time than shavings even though shavings look cheaper per load. Two grades: 3/8 inch minus (coarser) and 1/4 inch minus (finer). SAFETY, AND WE WILL NOT BURY IT: Dry Stall is mineral-based and must not be reachable where horses eat off the ground. A ground feeder can ingest enough to cause digestive impaction and colic. Use elevated feeders, hay nets or bins, keep feed off the stall floor, and call your veterinarian immediately if you suspect a horse has eaten a significant quantity. If your horse regularly eats off the floor, ask your vet before using Dry Stall as its main stall surface.
$66 – $900by size
Premium Pine Shavings
Bedding & FootingKiln-dried · nail & toxic-wood free
Kiln-dried pine shavings, screened free of nails and toxic wood, loaded fresh with our John Deere 320 so you get clean, dry bedding rather than whatever has been sitting in a pile. Pick your load size and order online.
$23 – $400by size
Finished Compost
CompostPremium finished compost
Your farm's waste, returned as living soil. Every load we haul is composted in full — none of it goes to a landfill — and what comes back is clean, aged compost for gardens, landscaping and farms. A portion of the finished product is donated to East Valley schools, community gardens and nonprofits, so the same loop that clears your property feeds someone's garden. Delivered by dump truck across the East Valley in tractor scoop, super sack and truckload quantities. Order online.
$45 – $800by size
Sodium bentonite · 50 lb bag or bulk ton
One hundred percent natural sodium bentonite — the same mineral that has sealed ponds for generations. It expands up to fifteen times when wet, filling cracks, pores and gaps, and it does not degrade over time. Livestock safe, so horses, cattle and goats can drink from a sealed pond; fish and wildlife safe, with no chemicals and no runoff concerns. Built for Arizona's sandy, gravelly, porous ground, and it needs no liner, no chemicals and no heavy equipment. Available in 50 lb bags for small ponds, stock tanks and spot repairs, or bulk ton for ranch-scale work. Application rates depend on your soil and pond size, so we quote rather than guess — request a free estimate online. Sold at Growers Best Organics as EarthLock Clay — the same proven sealer serving two markets.

The full Mother Nature's product line
Poultice, Bandage and Tums — three products, three purposes
View
Three products. Three purposes.
Each Mother Nature's product is formulated for a specific application. While they share certain naturally occurring mineral ingredients, each product contains its own unique combination of components designed for its intended use — external poultice, wound paste, or digestive support. They are not the same formula. A thick poultice for sore joints and tendons. A paste for wounds and cuts. A syringe for digestive and stress support. Three distinct tools, each purpose-built for your barn.
Dry Stall safety note — read before use
Dry Stall is a mineral-based product. It must not be accessible where horses eat directly off the ground. Ground feeders are at risk of ingesting it, and ingestion of significant quantities can cause digestive impaction and may lead to colic. Always feed from elevated feeders, hay nets, or feed bins, and keep feed off the stall floor. If you suspect a horse has ingested a large quantity, contact your veterinarian immediately. If your horse regularly eats off the floor, consult your vet before using Dry Stall as a primary stall surface.
What makes volcanic pumice different
Many common stall bedding options — including shavings, sand, and pelleted bedding — come with tradeoffs in moisture absorption, odor control, dust, and cost. Mother Nature's Dry Stall is a naturally occurring volcanic black pumice that absorbs up to 4x its weight in moisture. Available in two grades: 3/8 inch minus (coarser) and 1/4 inch minus (finer).
Available Grades
3/8″ Minus (Larger pieces)
Coarser grade — larger volcanic pieces for maximum drainage. Longer-lasting, great for high-traffic stalls and large livestock. Both grades are “minus” (all pieces pass through the screen size).
1/4″ Minus (Smaller pieces)
Finer grade — smaller volcanic pieces, softer underfoot. Ideal for sensitive hooves, foals, and horses with hoof issues. Maximum moisture absorption surface area. Also a “minus” grade.
Dry Stall vs. other bedding options
| Feature | Dry Stall | Shavings | Sand | Mats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moisture absorption | 5 / 5 | 3 / 5 | 2 / 5 | 1 / 5 |
| Odor control | 5 / 5 | 3 / 5 | 2 / 5 | 2 / 5 |
| Microbe activity | Microbe-friendly | Neutral | Neutral | Neutral |
| Chemical-free | Yes | Varies | Yes | Varies |
| Longevity | Months | Days | Months | Years |
| Cost over time | Low | High | Medium | High upfront |
Ratings are Country Farm Services' own published comparison based on hands-on use in Arizona barns, not third-party lab testing.
Do you find nails or toxic wood in your bedding?
Not all pine shavings are created equal. Some suppliers use recycled pallet wood or construction scraps that can contain nails, staples, treated lumber, or toxic wood species — all of which can seriously injure or harm your animals. Our Premium Pine Shavings are kiln-dried, screened, and loaded fresh with a John Deere 320 — so you know exactly what you're getting. Clean bedding. Safe animals. Every time.
A wound that wouldn't heal
“My horse had a wound that nothing would heal — we tried everything over the course of a couple years. Different products, different vets, different approaches. Nothing stuck. Then we got a free sample of Mother Nature's Bandage and tried it. I couldn't believe it. That wound finally healed. I've been a customer ever since.”
