How do you make beet pulp for horses?
Beet pulp can be fed wet or dry. However it is usually best to feed it soaked as it allows the beet pulp to expand and helps to get water into the horse. Typically you would measure out how much you would like to feed, then soak it for a specific amount of time, drain it and feed it. There is an old myth that beet pulp will expand in the horses stomach and make it explode, but this simply is not true. However dry beet pulp can cause choke (not the same kind of choking in people though) and you'll need a vet out to clear the horses throat, so it is best to soak it.
Should beet pulp be fed wet or dry to horses?
always feed wet other wise the horse/pony will get colic which could lead to death Beet pulp is most commonly fed wet. I would think that this is the best way to feed it because, if fed dry, the beet pulp would expand in the horse's stomach. This could potentially cause colic; colic that could be severe enough to cause death if you don't feed properly. Ask your local veterinarian the proper way to mix beet pulp for your horse. Beet pulp is a good supplement for your horse, especially in the winter months when it is often hard to keep weight on them. And they love it! Not Exactly! However if you read the bag on beet pulp you will find out that you should always feed it wet. Dry beet pulp not only expands in their stomach, but also, if fed dry scratches their throats. Over time it starts to wear away the inner layers of their throats which can be potentially deadly if severe enough. Dispelling Myths Beet pulp can be fed either wet or dry. Feeding dry beet pulp doesn't damage the throat, increase the risk of choke or increase the risk of colic. There have been studies performed where up to 45% of the diet was dry beet pulp and no increase in incidence of choke or other adverse reactions.

Beet pulp is the most underrated of all horse feed. It is a great way to put some weight on a horse without having to worry about too much protein. You can feed it dry or soak it in water for a few minutes before feeding. And even picky horses seem to like it. And I have never heard of even 1 horse that impacted from beet pulp. Another good point is it's not very expensive.
