Just have to reinforce Angie's post on Beet Pulp - I have used it as a HAY extender and my horses did fine when I replaced half their hay ration with beet pulp -- I had three and I just mixed it up and dumped it in an old bathtub - they licked it clean and I swear if they could talk they'd take it over the grass/alfalfa I was feeding them!

They have tm salt, their hay is 3/4 grass 1/4 legume. We live in western New York, along Lake Erie. Just in case Susan meant it when she said she's gone till after exams...I feel really confident I can answer this question like she would...read my lips..."BEET PULP". >g< It cost less, is far more like foriage than grain, can't feed them too much of it...and it's Susan's favorite answer for all around questions. :-) P.S. I had one of my only tie-ups during what you're going through. I bought some really crappy hay to tide me over till they cut and the horse didn't eat it. A little reading indicated (could be wrong here I was going on clues) that lack of foriage could contribute (I hadn't upped his grain). So...feed beet pulp and keep'em moving not stalled!
