Fine idea as long as you use the right kind of beets. The beet pulp we buy is the residual pulp left over from processing sugar beets. The other kind are called mangles (s.p.??) and are HUGE! I don't know about feeding regular beets.

Has anyone tried just planting beets and feeding them to the horses? Beets
grow pretty well where we live and I was wondering about planting a bunch of
them for the horses. Anything I need to watch out for if I feed fresh beets
to horses and not just the dried pulp?
