Re: [RC] Rice Bran & Beet Pulp - M . Paul Latiolais

Well?...I have a BIG Paso Fino mare that is a hard keeper (Everybody thinks she is a MFT or a TWH). I have been feeding her a mixture of 2 lbs of alfalfa based pellet, 1 lb of wet cob, 2 quarts of wet beet pulp and half a cup of canola plus vitamins. She gets all the hay she wants pretty much. she is getting better, but is still thinner than I want.

Yesterday, she broke into the barn and ate two buckets full of beet pulp that I had soaking in the isle. I guess I need to give her more beet pulp.

I have a 14 year old Thoroughbred mare who is a hard keeper. I've tried
several 'diets' with her to both gain and maintain weight, with my
favorite being a blend of rice bran and soaked beet pulp. She doesn't
become hot and loves the flavor of this combination, plus it's
nutritionally balanced when fed in proper amounts. However, I've heard
rice bran can be bad for their feet -- Does anyone have any
knowledge/comments on this? My horse has those typical soft
Thoroughbred feet! At the most, I would feed 8 cups of rice bran/day.

Appreciate any help, thanks!
