How would you wash it out? In a sieve maybe?
Would this be a safe enough option for a horse who has had laminitis?

I have at least one tub trug with a leak. I'd fill to the top with water over the beet pulp and let it drain out over several hours (over a good drain). I think you could wash out most of the molasses that way - probably safe enough then. For just one horse Speedybeet works well but a bit pricey feeding three

My local feed shop has stopped stocking Speedibeet due to the price, they now stock Equiglo.

When I fed beetpulp I just used the regular molassed stuff, made it very, very watery in a large bucket and used a sieve to scoop it out and discarded the excess molassed water.
