I carry beet pulp…..mixed with a
handful of grain….the same ratios they get here at home…and at
rides. At rides it’s mixed with Perform ‘n Win. Easy to
do. Gallon bag with a double handful of well soaked beat pulp and a
small can of Omolene. Mix well, squeeze the air out, seal, place in Wad ‘R
Bucket, and roll tightly. Fiits nicely in a cantle bag. If the ride is
longer than 4 hours, I will carry two of them. I also carry that at rides
where I can’t have a crew at an away vet check. Feed every two
hours. IMHO, Susan is right on the money. Works for me.
I can’t afford to feed granola bars
as horse treats. J

<<I'm betting of all you folks that carry horse food on
your saddle
to be fed out on the trail, nobody carries a bag of beet pulp. Probably
more
like a bag of grain, horse cookies, carrots, etc.,.>>
Grain?? Beet pulp??? You kidding? We carry granola
bars. Our horses prefer NatureValley crunchy granola
bars...honey and oats flavor, thank you very much. The mere sound of the
zipper on our camelbaks will stop them in their tracks. <G>
And the sound of a wrapper crinkling...they're all over us like white on
rice! <VBG>
