when the horses are into a heavy conditioning season, I like
to add Purina's Complete Advantage to their beet pulp based daily mash. I make
the whole thing so sloppy wet that the chance of impaction is lessened
considerably. And the horses love it.

I'd like to see this answer, too, because a
friend's horse died from impaction from a pelleted feed and I've been afraid
to feed pellets ever since. We just had our new mare with a trainer and
he fed Strategy. She did well on it but it scared me to
death.
