Expert Posts: 2532 Location: the land of dust & sticks	this horse use to get soaked alfalfa cubes twice daily but I'm concerned that's too much sugar for him now....what else can I soak like that, that will absorb water??...I thought about beet pulp but it's made from sugar beets...didn't know what the sugar content of that would be.

I have a recovered laminitic and I used to stress over every little thing. Alfalfa is actually very low in sugar and starch so is considered safe for laminitics. Hallway feeds makes a feed called Fibrenergy. Only has a 10% NSC ( Safe for laminitics) and makes a great mash to get more water into them.
