Pine pellet for horse stalls is definitely the correct answer. It's the most effective, easiest litter AND it's monstrously cheaper.
I've tried maybe 5 or 6 different litters, nothing absorbs as much smell as pine pellets. You can ignore it for a couple of days without issue. It doesn't track or clump. You don't have to scoop pee, although you should give it a quick stir or sift daily. That's easy enough to do when you scoop any poop.
You can also get pine pellets for cheap by going after wood stove fuel but you need to thoroughly research whether the brand uses accelerants or not.
I'm actually super pissed off that the pellets marketed as litter have such an insane mark up given that other pellets usually just have additives... you're paying a premium for them to not do extra work.
