same here - as long as we are feeding something like that, it is fed wet - VE 
wet. The favorite around here is a perfect blend of bran and beet pulp soaked 
until it runs, with whatever grains each one gets - plus their Dynamite - and 
they slurp it up. The water we soak it all in is just more fluid for 
hydration.

 The way I read this post, it appears that the writer is saying that to feed
 beet pulp dry should be of no great concern. It has been my understanding
 that one of the greatest concerns is the danger of a horse getting into the
 feed bin and consuming dry pulp, with devastating consequences. Not having
 the veterinary background to substantiate this, I am asking that someone who
 knows please clarify this for me. (are you out there, Heidi?) >>

Well, I'm not Heidi, but I have read that you can feed beet pulp dry also.  
We here at the ranch do not though.  We feel that endurance horses can use 
all the mositure they can get.  I don't feed any supplement dry, not even 
plain grains. 
    As for the horse getting into the feed bin, that is devastating no matter 
what kind of grain, pellets, bran, etc., it is.
