This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Kate I feed very wet beet pulp year round. It is a great way to make sure that your horse gets more liquids in either hot or cold weather when they are more likely to drink less. Since I have done this for many years now. I have not had any colic's related to not drinking. And yes they love it. If the horse is too fat use it to replace the hay that they would normally eat. If too thin add more and they will gain easily. If they eat grain too fast use it to mix with it. As it does slow them down. I have not had any horses inhale it. Most take more time and try to chew it. It really is a very good feed choice for many different horses. The amount of water it absorbs is enormous . Bonnie Morris
