Re: Selling wood shavings
Eastern red cedar makes good fill for dog mattresses. I have no personal knowledge of any significant differences between species other than possibly tannin in oak so far as soil amendments go.

Re: Selling wood shavings
Regarding horse bedding. Walnut is definitely toxic. Owners with a few horses would certainly pick it up if its nearby. Bigger operations would probably get a trailer load periodically. I know the place we keep our horse has the bags trucked in and stored. A new trend is to use a pelletized product. It's more expensive, but is more efficient as the "used" material clumps together making it easier to clean a stall and you end up using less material over time. Don't know about price. Check local feed stores or TSC.
