Hi Susan,

Gotta say, I love reading your posts. You are so funny! And willing to share
your knowledge which I really appreciate. So, I have a question. From one of
your recent posts, I gather you don't think much of feeding rice bran. Is
this because of the phosphorous/ calcium imbalance? If so, what do you think
of this new kind (new to me) brand called "Equi Jewel" ? or something. It is
suppossed to have balanced the ratio and advertises itself as being Kenucky
Equine Research approved.
Also (really I have two questions), I once thought I caused my mare to colic
by over-soaking beet pulp..I live in Fl...when now I think I may have
under-soaked it. I am afraid of spoilage so I only soaked for one hour. I
would like to feed it for all the reasons stated on ridecamp...water,steady
carbo source, weight maintenance minus the rocket fuel, ect.
Thanks!!!
