Hi Marcy, 
You must have me confused with another poster. I have been using beet pulp
for about 5 years now and I love it.  When I first bought it, I thought it
only came in pellets, but realized about a year later that it also came in
flakes.  Mostly we get the pellets and for me it's no problem to soak for
the required amount of time before it's ok to use. 
I think that someone on here, Susan G? maybe that said there should be no
ill effects for the horse to eat it without soaking in some instances?
I'm not sure, don't do that personally, but have had a friends mare get
into her beet pulp pellets--dry--and she was fine after eating some. She
loves it wet, but didn't get so gung ho on the dry though.  

Just some thoughts.

thanks for the post
