Re: [RC] Question for Ride Managers- beet pulp - Truman Prevatt

I can't remember a ride I've been to where any type of horse food was supplied, be it beet pulp or brand mash. I've been to several where hay was supplied at the vet check area in case there was a line. Normally it's up to the rider to supply whatever source of food he/she wants.

I don't know about the east coast but here on the west coast ride managers
provide a bran mash instead of beet pulp.  I personally don't know many
people that feed bran mashes very often if at all, but most do feed beet
pulp.  The cost is about the same so I am curious why bran instead of beet
pulp.  My personal interest is neither of my horses are very enthralled
with bran, well actually one of my horses won't eat it at all, so I end up
trying to get some beet pulp to the out of camp vet checks.  Since bran
isn't balanced and beet pulp is more balance, I asked an endurance vet if
he had any idea (was I missing knowledge of some benefit).  He said no old
habits just die hard.

So one vote for beet pulp instead of bran.
Thanks,
Sheila
