I use
Dynamite, a very small amount (about 1-2c after soaking) of beet pulp, crimped
or rolled oats (1-2c) daily. The horses gobble it up, and it can be used to get
anything else down as well.
Dynamite
may cost you more than that however? I find my horses are very “easy keepers”
on Dynamite, so the cost savings in other areas may make up for it?

My
horses are still comfortably eating nice green grass and clover in their
pasture, but winter is approaching, with some older hay (2004) they'll be
eating. For years I've used Vita Plus to make up for vitamins lost in
processing and storage. This year, that will cost me about 43 cents per
day per horse. Does anybody know of a cheaper route to get roughly the
same thing? I don't feed sweet feed, just cracked corn and oats
(maybe a half pound total grain per horse per day) so the powders fall right
through and won't work. What do others use?
