Subject: RE: [RC] free choice beet pulp
at ridecamp
He
does get the beet pulp at home every day but not free choice. On days when we
don't train he gets fed 1x daily and those days we train he gets fed between
training loops and sometimes after.
I'd make sure to provide beet pulp as part of his daily
ration at home as well. It takes time for the gut to adapt to new
feeds, or increased amounts of a feed. My husband's Paso Fino, which
he rides in LDs, is particularly sensitive to increases in amounts of beet
pulp...if we increase it too quickly, he'll develop a painful gas
colic. So, we feed beet pulp every day, and several days before a
ride, we'll begin gradually increasing the amount he gets to what he'll be
getting at camp.
