RE: [RC] Question for Ride Managers- beet pulp - Sheila_Larsen

Well I have one horses that will absolutely not eat it and another that
eats a little but doesn't really like it.  And why would I want to feed a
horse at an endurance ride that has a calcium:potassium imbalance, but if
they would eat it I would let them but hey they won't.  Just like I don't
feed straight alfalfa at home but at a ride t hey can eat whatever their
little hearts desire, which is NOT bran mash LOLOLOL.
Thanks,
Sheila

Subject: [RC] Question for Ride Managers- beet pulp


I don't know about the east coast but here on the west coast ride managers
provide a bran mash instead of beet pulp.  I personally don't know many
people that feed bran mashes very often if at all, but most do feed beet
pulp.  The cost is about the same so I am curious why bran instead of beet
pulp.  My personal interest is neither of my horses are very enthralled
with
bran, well actually one of my horses won't eat it at all, so I end up
trying
to get some beet pulp to the out of camp vet checks.  Since bran isn't
balanced and beet pulp is more balance, I asked an endurance vet if he had
any idea (was I missing knowledge of some benefit).  He said no old habits
just die hard.

So one vote for beet pulp instead of bran.
Thanks,
Sheila
