Which bedding is described as not dusty and not edible, but may cause ink allergy?

• A. Peat
• B. Shredded newspaper
• C. Straw
• D. Sawdust

Answer: (B)

Bedding that keeps dust to a minimum, isn’t something the horse would normally eat, and carries a potential allergy risk from ink is what this item is pointing to. Shredded newspaper fits well because it’s typically less dusty than straw or sawdust and horses usually don’t eat it. However, the ink in newspaper can cause an ink allergy in some horses, so it isn’t risk-free. In contrast, peat, straw, and sawdust tend to be dustier or more likely to be chewed, making them less aligned with the given description.
