Beet pulp: It's a great source of fiber and is low in starch and sugars.
I have tried several different brands of beet pulp over the years. The one that seems to soak the best is Standlee. Now for some reason I have never tried shreds, only pellets. I have read that the shreds soak more quickly and clearly for obvious reasons.
Diamond's hoof trim was this morning and the farrier and I decided coconut oil might be a good way to help keep some moisture in the hoof wall. He has extremely dry hooves and we don't want them getting too brittle. So now we will alternate water soaking one day and coconut oil the next.
