Beet pulp is a forage. Overeating hay doesn't have devastating effects on
a horse. I have heard people tell of horses getting into the beet pulp and
eating substantial amounts (like 30-40 #) without any ill effects. Some
horses who cannot eat hay for whatever reason are fed beet pulp exclusively
(if it's a heavey horse it must be wet) and at 1 or 2 % of body weight that
could amount to a half a bag a day. I have a lot of confidence in beet
pulp. My experience is limited to the use of shredded pulp however.
