I can truly understand your enthusiasm. I have a young friend who is trying to 
make his fortune in horse feeds here, so I've been stuffing his brains with 
ideas right and left. One of these ideas is beet pulp, which he says that he's 
found here at a crushing factory but it's only been used as a cattle feed in 
Egypt. Now he has it going in for analysis and testing and maybe, maybe, we can 
join the first equestrian world too.

Really glad to hear about Dice, Tracey. We have no AHS, but we have a 
technicolour panorama of mosquito borne viruses to give us trouble...nice names 
like Zimba and so on. The only thing you can do for them is to provide fluids 
and anti-inflammatories IV for about 10 days...and pray a lot.

Tracey, when I got my gelding, Gambler, he was extremely thin, a rescue horse. I put him on beet pulp and corn oil, along with suppliments.  In 3 weeks there was a very noticable difference in his weight and attitude. I have used beet pulp ever since...

Congrats on finally getting beet pulp!  But make sure the guy at the feed store doesn't send the white suits after you!  lol

Just to let everyone know that Dice is well again.  He either had a different AHS strain or (more probably) encephalosis, which is also going around and which the vets tell me they?re finding now in just about every horse infected with AHS.  To answer Kat?s question : they are only immune to the strain that they had, and considering that there are 21 strains of the virus, he could, conceivably, be reinfected, although he will have a relatively high immunity to the other strains.

       

Thanks again for support.

And NOW for the big news?..I bought beet pulp today.  Yes!!!!  Actual beet pulp!!!

I?m so excited I could pee?.in fact, the man in the feed store was very worried about me for a while?..

SO : does anyone wanna talk about beet pulp???  Share beet pulp stories????  Discuss the qualities to be found in a good bag of beet pulp?  Perhaps you?d like to hear the little song I wrote about beet pulp?

Dr Q?can we talk about beet pulp at the party?  Huh? 

Hey!!  Perhaps I?ll make a happy beet pulp cake inst! ead of Happy Apple Crumble??

(For the ETG guys, bear with me, this is a bit of a Ridecamp ?in? joke).  Only now I?m IN!!  I?m IN!!! Cos I have beet pulp.  Actual beet pulp.

Whew?think I?ll go lie down?
