I use it daily for my girls. The oldie to keep on a little bit of weight and, well, just fibre intake, and for my Sec A, who suffers from lami - I find it quite good for a filler

I use something called Alfa Beet which I think is similar to the Fibre Beet but the Alfa one is higher in value etc.
I had been trying to put weight on my arab for ages and I tried sugar/speedi beet but it didnt really do anything. Now that I am using the alfa beet he has put on a lot of weight really quickly. I am thinking of changing him to the fibre beet now just so that he maintains the weight but doesnt put anymore on now that hes is a good weight.
If you are looking to put on or maintain weight then I would use the fibre or alfa beet rather than sugar beet but thats just my opinion.

We use dengi alfa beet to put weigh on our laminitic pony. It works well and she really likes it and she is fussy.

I use speedi-beet in the winter and I make it with hot water. Their dinner consists of Hi Fi, Speedi-beet & spillers high fibre cubes. They seem to thrive on this.

I think it is fantastic. I swapped to Fibre Beet from Speedi Beet and find Baron is gaining weight much quicker and his condition is fantastic compared to how it has been.

However I did read one of their leaflets that compared them both, they suggested that Speedibeet was better if you had problems with weight. I totaly disagree and will continue with Fibrebeet. It does take longer to soak in cold water though - about 45mins.
