*Concerns about beet pulp "pulling water from the blood and into the stomach and causing dehydration" (when fed wet OR dry) are also unfounded. Regardless of...
I think it is of utmost importance for new equine owners, or even those new to beet pulps, to hear concerns like mine, Fred, Karen, etc- and to know that...
I know Lee!!!! But all the "long term" experience being passed on is ONLY with feeding beet pulp wet as it's the only way you've used it. So, it's one sided...
Also, like any other new feed, one should ease into it gradually. Use ¼ cup of pellets, soaked (perhaps even less since they poof up to about 5+ times their...
I know you agree Cindy. My experience isn't truly one sided though. I was and still am unwilling to try it dry, yes- BUT as per 40 years of experience of my...
Ah, well I have a slightly jaded view of vet's these day too. :-/ Not in that I have any bad feeling about vets, it's that I've dealt with so many over the...

It is very scary to see this. I've never had one of my own choke but my friends horse choked at a competition on a piece of carrot and scared the heck out of...
On my bag of beet pulp, it plainly says to soak to avoid choke. Now, I realize that an equine can choke on their own spit (it's the horse half of them, I...
I now soak any lager pelleted feed just to be on the safe side. Hay stretcher and even hay cubes when I use them. Like you, erring on the side of caution. And...

I used to board my horses at a barn that fed dry beet pulp shreds twice a day. I was there about three years. I never did hear of any choke issues but I...
Most of the beet pulp for horses has has the sugar removed for well, supermarket sugar and the beet pulp is the by-product. My neighbor feeds his beef cattle...
Tracy, I'm interested in what changes, if any, you noticed during that time of no hay and only BP. I have only fed shreds one time, well, one bag worth lets...
Well, as I mentioned in one post they learned to LOVE that beet pulp. I couldn't get it into their feed tubes fast enough for them. I knew that they wouldn't...
Thanks for that info. Yes, the weight of just the big heavy buckets I feed are a concern too! Lee ... Well, as I mentioned in one post they learned to LOVE...
