Making a bran mash for your horse 

I know it's been years since you posted. I find you videos informative and helpful. Thanks!

Thanks again for your comments. Yes, those of us who have been around a long time have found that there are many ways to do things. Thank you for your ideas. Have a good day!

Thanks for your concern for all horses. I believe that I mention that bran is high in phosphorus so not to be given too frequently as to interfere with the calcium phosphorus ratio of the diet. many people will still wish to mash occasionally so they might as well learn about it.

That's great! If getting legume hay is difficult, alfalfa pellets or alfalfa cubes can be fed as well, following the directions on the bag and directions from your vet. Be aware that alfalfa cubes really should be soaked first!! And the pellets may be fed wet. Both can choke a greedy eater! (I never feed dry cubes!!) See the video on "Feeding Alfalfa Cubes".

That is a simple sweat scraper that I only use to stir bran mash, not for it's original purpose.

im so gunna feed this to my new lease horse :} hes gunna love it!!

@WesternNewb It's a great once a week treat. Helps keep water in the digestive system. Don't give them more frequently than that, though.

That depends on a lot of factors, including what part of the country you live in. I think it would be best for you to consult your veterinarian who knows your particular horse.

My horses will love this thanks.

Once a week is generally safe. It is the traditional meal on a day off to feed less grain on that day.

That works, too! Just be sure that the hot water has cooled enough so you don't get burned! :-)

Talk to your vet to see what she or he recommends. Calcium can be added to the diet by feeding small amounts of legume hay, like alfalfa, clover, or peanut hay.

I was wondering can you do the same thing with all of the steps just minus the wheat bran? Like just have It gran cool/warm/hot water and the treats??
