Re: bran mash vs beat pulp

Beet pulp is much better than bran, better balanced nutritionally, and digests more like hay....Susan Garlinghouse has an excellent article on feeding beet pulp on her website, and in the endurance.net archives.  If I remember right, bran is too high in phosporus....

Subject: RC: bran mash vs beat pulp

I am considering taking beet pulp for my horse to our upcoming 50.  In the past I have offered bran mash (soupy with apples and carrots in it).  Can I use the beet pulp the same way?  I will be sure to give him some before the ride so he can get used to it.
 
Also, this horse doesn't have a problem keeping on weight, and does eat and drink well at rides (knock on wood).  Should I just stick with the bran mash or is there an advantage to using beet pulp?
