Speedibeet

[SophW1898]

Has anyone else found that Speedibeet sends their horse a bit loopy? Horse is quite excitable in general but last couple of weeks has been even worse and the only thing I can think of that’s changed is I’ve started feeding Speedibeet..
so I’m thinking of cutting him right down to just a simple chaff and balancer and hoping that and turning him out overnight might help

Certainly doesn't do anything to mine. Grass is coming through, it might be that.

My very spooky quite fizzy new forest is on speedibeet only half a scoop soaked, And haven't seen a change in him.

One of mine was in the past. I stopped feeding it but later found that local forage was very high in calcium as is Speedibeet. So the calcium/magnesium ratio was off. I was ok when i was feeding magnesium.

I have been feeding it to many different horses for years and never had any changes in behaviour.

I would be surprised to see speedibeet making much of a change to behaviour and as above, suspect this is the grass coming through.

Yes I have in the past with my boy he went schizo on it in the winter so no grass around.


I now prefer Simple System Purabeet, better and not schizo horses. https://www.simplesystemhorsefeeds.co.uk/products/viewhorsefeed.asp?id=5&name=PuraBeet

Thank you - I did wonder if it might be this, grass is definitely starting to come through and it’s still the awkward time of year where I can’t have them out 24/7 just yet, so he’s still being stables from 6pm-7am.. so possibly the combination of the two means he has too much energy might start giving him a quick lunge before doing anything overly exciting such as jumping

When I replied about reaction was including all unmolassed depending on what the feedshop stocked, I think it was kwikbeet.
