Sugar beet can expand to twice it's size. The old Myth is that if not soaked properly that it will expand in the horses stomach and cause it to explode or cause colic is just that a myth. A horses stomach can hold 4 gallons of feed at one time, far more than the 1-2 pounds of Beet pulp that is typically fed in one meal. The only real problem that is would cause is that the horse may not be able to chew it properly and choke on it.
