Nope.  Digestion of beet pulp produces volatile fatty acids, not simple
sugars (as starches do).  Feed away.  Great stuff.

Probably not a real big deal.  Just remember there's a difference between
"not having a problem" and "operating at optimum levels".  How big a
difference that is depends on the individual circumstances, horse and
intensity of exercise.
