Bran helps flush out a horses system to get rid of impurities. It is good for all horses, and will help sick horses (for instance, if you adopt a horse that has been previously abused, or you got a malnourished horse, you would give them warm bran MASH to help them recover) hope this helps

If fed often enough, imbalance in wheat bran may cause skeletal problems, particularly in young horses, but the occasional bren mash will not upset body-wide mineral levels. Avoid feeding bran mashes to young horses, and do not allow mashes to constitute more than 10% of the daily ration of an adult horses.

How many horse pellets does a horse need a day?
Horses have very delicate stomachs. They shouldn't be fed too much, probably twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. You should ask your vet what kind of feed your horse needs.

How do you cure a sick horse with food?
You can't really cure a horse with food but a bran mash can help. (Just make sure you check with your vet first, you could hurt the horse more if you don't) Mix up a nice, warm bran mash, maybe add some carrots/apple/nuts, depending how well the horse is doing, and add any medicine the vet has given you.Above answer is total rubbish! You don't even know what is wrong with the sick horse yet you offer a treatment that could do more harm than good.always always find out what is wrong first then ask the vets advice on what to feed. You cannot possibly say a bran mash usually does the trick. Age also comes into it. Bran mash is mainly fiber and that isn't always a good thing.The best thing to do is call the vet. He/she can tell you what to do to best take care of your horse.
Why do you feed horses bran mash?
Bran mashes were fed long ago in the belief that they worked on horses as a laxative in the same way they work on people. However modern science has proven the amount of fiber in a bran mash is not high enough to work as a laxative for a horse. It was also proven that bran has an inverted Phosphorus to calcium ratio and if fed daily or in high amounts can cause the body to become calcium deficient as it cannot absorb calcium when too much phosphorous is present. Instead of bran mashes you can instead feed warm mashes of hay pellets or another more nutritious feed, or even a small amount of cooked oatmeal. There are many recipes online for non-bran mashes.

What is bran mash?
AnswerA bran mash was a traditional feed used to "clear a horse's gut" but it is also often given as a treat or when the weather is cold to give the horse a warm meal and to try to help introduce more water into the diet. It is generally made from bran,epsom salts and boiling water. You would pour boiling water onto the bran and salts and leave it covered. once cooled it can be fed.However, contrary to common belief, bran mashes are not a good foodstuff for horses due to the inappropriate calcium to phosphorus ratio. The high phosphorus and low calcium content of this feed stuff makes it a poor choice for regular feeding, especially to senior horses who tend to already have low calcium. Bran mashes also do not help to prevent colic or "clear a horse's gut" according to university run studies.Bran can still be given as an occasional treat, but in general it should not be a regular part of a horse's diet. Rather for a warm meal, the horse's regular concentrate feed with warm water added is a better choice both for diet balance and because sudden changes in diet (including feeding a meal of bran) actually increase the risk of colic.There are many kinds of mashes take an energy mash for example they are used to boost a horses energy, but you shouldn't give it as a main diet for a horse, it could make them sick
What should you feed an horse?
You can feed a horse many things. A horse's main diet should consist of either hay or grass depending on where you live and what climate you have. Horses aren't meant to digest grain but many people feed it to them anyway. So, if you need to feed a horse grain, feed them small amounts of it. Any grain is okay in small amounts! Horses can also enjoy carrots, apples, and processed horse treats you can buy at a local equine store or Tractor Supply. Include, applesauce, molasses and oats in things like a bran mash or homemade treats because horses do enjoy these also. Each horse will have a unique taste and may like/dislike certain things.
