Question on that.......possibly dumb question..but if the

psyllium is coating everything in the mash....is it preventing it from

being digested; i.e. it's just slipping through the gut and out the

back?

I feel like I'm making a quote from the credit card TV
commercial.. "what's in YOUR wallet?"  But I do want
to know what folks are putting in their  mashes.  I
know my preride mash is different than my vet check
mash.. anyone else do different concoctions?

Here's what I feed pre ride, the night before and a
lesser amount before the ride.
Beet Pulp,  Purenia Strategy or Endurance 101 (a
buckeye product), electrolytes.. (P&W) some probi, and
some psyllium.  I want to make that poop slippery, to
prevent any kind of hard manure, as I've had minor
colics due to minor impactions.. (like the horse
says.. hey it HURTS when I poop... so I won't)

During the ride, I'll use beet pulp, strategy, chopped
dehydrated alfalfa (God -- I love this stuff),
electrolytes, and if I think the horse is gonna be
picky a handful or 2 of sweet feed.  (at my barn..
sweet feed is seen as horse candy).  <and the beet
pulp has been soaked to within an inch of it's life
and extra water added to the whole mess>

(Literally it's a mess, especially when the horse
reaches over your head all the while happily
slobbering this concoction on your head and hair!)

So what does everyone else use??
