Hi,

I was wondering if anyone feeds Sweet Meadow horse and Pinot nuts? And if so, how do you feed it as I’m confused by the website.
It says you CAN soak it but was wondering if you should soak it or you’re to feed it dry?

I soak most nuts as I have one prone to impaction colic and it really is surprising how much water they need to fully soak I really wouldn't want to feed them dry.

I would give the soaking a go mine still enjoy them when they are soaked.

I don't use the same nuts as you mine are high fibre spillers nuts, I don't like it sloppy it's a proper mash consistency so it's double water to whatever is in the scoop, so half a scoop to a whole scoop of water they really expand I think they tend to last longer as it looks alot more feed once soaked so I tend not to feed as much they take about 20 minutes to fully soak but I soak the night before.

Thats a round stubbs scoop
