Choose the amount of Speedi-Beet you wish to feed your horse. Small amounts can be fed to horses prone to weight gain or as a carrier for a mineral or vitamin supplement or medication. Larger amounts can be fed as energy to performance or working horses, or to add a condition.

How to prepare

Add one part dry Speedi-Beet to five parts water by weight. So, half a kilogram of dry Speedi-Beet would require 2.5 litres of water. Add more water to make a sloppier mash if you want to help your horse rehydrate. You can prepare in advance if you wish, but store in cool conditions and feed within 24 hours of soaking.
