how much beet pulp?

["Beckstrom, Carolyn" <Carolyn.Beckstrom@standardregister.com>]

How much beet pulp do you feed?  do you increase the quantity before a ride?
my horse gets 4 qts of grain/day and is on pasture all day with a flake of
hay at night.  he does not need extra calories (is tending toward plump with
the lush spring grass) but I would like him to be able to get the benefits
that I've read about from beet pulp.  Someone said 3-5 lbs/day, is that
correct?  I am doing a 25 mile CTR in June.  Thanks for the help!
Carolyn
