When I was at the barn today, another boarder had brought out a warm beet pulp mash (no molasses) and kept in a cooler to keep it warm since it’s pretty cold here this time of year.
I walked my mare by and she just HAD to sniff this cooler like it was manna from heaven. She was trying so hard to figure out how to break into it to find the food inside. So, the other boarder offered her a handful to see what she’d think and she inhaled it immediately and started looking for more.
Apparently my horse loves beet pulp. Who knew? Maybe I’ll have to start making a little as a treat for her in the winter (not that she needs extra food)…
