Best Suited for: All Horses - Soak before feeding
 
Health Benefits:
Digestive Health: Beet pulp is rich in soluble fiber (including pectin) which is a prebiotic, feeding beneficial microbes in the hindgut and supporting overall gut function. This can help maintain a healthy pH level and may reduce the risk of some digestive issues like ulcers or hindgut acidosis.
Energy Source: It offers a good source of digestible energy, comparable to oats, but the energy is released slowly due to the fiber fermentation process, which provides "calm" calories and avoids the "sugar high" associated with high-starch grains. This makes it suitable for performance horses, hard keepers, and those prone to excitability.
Weight Management: Being more energy-dense than most grass hays, it can help underweight horses or "hard keepers" gain and maintain condition.
Hydration: Soaked beet pulp holds a significant amount of water, aiding in a horse's hydration, which is especially useful in cold weather or for endurance horses.
Forage Replacement: It can safely replace up to 45-50% of a horse's forage (hay) requirement when hay supply is limited or of poor quality.
Dental Issues: because it’s soaked into a soft mash, it is easy for older horses or those with poor dentition to chew, providing the necessary fiber and calories
