Okay, so if they add molasses to the pellets -- is that to hold the pellets
together or to make it more palatable for the horses? I can't tell that
the horses have any preference over shredded or pelleted. Once it is
soaked, it looks identical. I have bags of each and feed the shredded when
I don't have time (or it's too cold) to soak the pellets. So if I did want
to make the BP more palatable, what do you think would be better to add -
molasses or brown sugar? If you did do that on occasion, is there any
concern over rotting out our horses teeth? I've been told not to feed
sugar cubes, that it'll rot their teeth -- is that an old wives tale?

Oh yeah, right. Babble on. :+0
