Location: Texas | kanchazer - 2014-02-27 9:08 PM Fun2Run - 2014-02-27 6:39 PM My old horse does great on soaked beet pulp shreds. It keeps him nicely hydrated and he loves it. I really recommend it for keeping horses hydrated and providing fiber.
The Omolene 400 is beet pulp based, I will find some just beet pulp shreds tomorrow and give them a try, how much do you feed per feeding?
Some people feed a cup or two. I feed a big scoop dry, and soak it, so it turns out to be about half a 5 gallon bucket wet. |

Location: South Dakota | kanchazer - 2014-02-27 9:07 PM Timber Creek - 2014-02-27 6:29 PM We feed Hubbard senior feed that we buy in bulk. I don't think it has either hay or Alfalfa. It is all that my older horses eat. One of them is 33. I do add Cool Calories as a supplement. Thanks for the reply I will look into the Hubbard Senior Feed. I see you are from South Dakota and this horse was rasied in South Dakota and will be going back later this spring to breed some mares. Then will come back to utah in the summer.
What does the cool calories do?
The Cool Calories helped put a little extra weight on him going in to winter. He looks really good. |

cow pie - 2014-02-27 7:57 PM Can you give him probiotics and Braggs Apple cider vinegar? this would help him with the loose stools. I would feed the beet pulp till you get him straightened out.
The stools aren't loose as in a problem, only that it doesn't look like normal horse poop as in balled up it is more like a cow pile.
The stools might be the problem. Look at people with crohns, IBS, etc. These people can have extreme pain in their abdomen which is generally followed by diarrhea.
I would get the stool tested for blood, as he may have ulcers in his gut causing him pain when he eats, during the digestion process and defficatimg.
If he was my horse I would put him on ulcer meds, and probiotics.
You say he is allergic to alfalfa, has he been allergy tested? And what are his symptoms?
I would get Timothy pellets soak them and give this to him 4-6 times per day. |
