I'm open to suggestions as to how to get my horse to eat beet pulp. ? ?



My mare refused to eat BP the year I did LD on her (she hated the sport, so I 
got another horse).  Now she loves it and tries to steal it from the other 
horses at home.  Go figure.  But to introduce your horse to it, try soaking 
just a handful and adding it to his food.  Gradually increase the amount you 
give him as he gets used to it.  Or, you can just do what a friend of mine 
did...her mare wouldn't not eat BP.  Then we did a 50 together last fall, and 
at the first hold, my horse ate some of his BP, but *really* wanted her mare's 
alfalfa.  And her mare thought that my horse's BP/Strategy slurry was the best 
thing since carrots.  So we let 'em swap, and her mare has been happily 
slurping down BP ever since.  <G>
