So what else are you feeding and why do you want to feed a "mash:"?
I'm currently feeding my baby Juniorglo feed and Alfalfa/bermuda blend pellets. If I want to give them a "mash" ( ie on really cold days when the water tanks freeze easily) I soak the alfalfa bermuda blend pellets.

I'll never use bran on a baby and I try and avoid beet pulp also unless I can balance out the other nutrients it's missing. I keep the beet pulp for the older horses but not the babies.

I don't, lol. I was just curious as to how it affects foals. My friend and I were talking about mashes since she was feeding her horses one when I was dropping off her trailor..

What Gertie is on now is just fine. I'm only asking for educational purposes and out of curiosity.
