Actually, my personal concern with molasses in beet pulp isn't so  
much metabolics as it is behavior.   I don't want a hyper horse (he  
can get hyper enough all on his own - he doesn't need any help from a  
sugar high.

The whole idea behind my feeding beet pulp is to give him calories  
without the high that grain can give (plus  the metabolic problems  
that are sometimes associated with grain).  Using molasses in the  
beet pulp kind of defeats the purpose.
