RE: [RC] Glycemic index of horse grains - Karen Standefer-----Original Message----- From: Karen Standefer [mailto:kstandefer@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 7:31 AM To: 'Laney Humphrey' Subject: RE: [RC] Glycemic index of horse grains One thing to note about soaking hay. If you do this, it will remove the sugar content of the grass. So, you want to make sure your horse drinks the water that the hay was soaking in (not likely in my experience) because it will contain the sugar that you are trying to get into the horse by feeding soaked hay instead of soaked beet pulp. Soaking is one of the tricks that people who own laminitic/Insulin Resistent or Cushings horses do to remove the sugar so that they can be fed to horses that can't have sugar in their feeds. Karen REFERENCED POST: My guess is that beet pulp soaks up and holds more water than soaked hay but I've never tried soaking hay so I'm just guessing. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
