Making Soft and Nutritious Meals For Horses With Dental Problems

When horses have dental problems, it can be difficult for them to get the nutrition they need to stay healthy. And now that I have a horse who has dental issues, I needed to research how to make sure he gets all of the nutrients he needs.
I did a LOT of searching, and watching videos, and I learned all kinds of contradictory information. So I decided to compile everything I have read, watched, and learned and share it with you, in case you have questions about feeding your horse beet pulp, or pelleted hay.
So far so good, Plezant is gaining some weight, and looking good, so it's working! Hopefully this will be helpful for you, in case you have a horse with special dietary needs too!

Beet pulp is also a great way to get more liquids into your horse in the winter to help prevent winter impaction colic. Make sure to add lots of extra water (mine get half a cup heaped of BP in eight cups of water!). I add hot water and let it sit for about an hour. By the time they eat it, it's still warm and it doesn't have time to ferment in this time. I've never had a problem.

Plezant is so handsome. He doesn't look 22. My gelding will be 11 and is on Triple Crown complete-he loves that. He is on pasture 24/7 and access to round bales. He has mouth issues, low palate, normal tongue and his teeth are a little lopsided. He gets floats once a year and I ride him bitless for his comfort.

I have a gelding in his 20’s and one side of his mouth feels like smooth marbles from poor dental care throughout his life. I’ve been giving him grain that turns to mush that’s made by buckeye. He also gets vitamin supplements from horse guard, bute-less for any discomfort and a joint supplement from Buckeye. He still manages to chew up some hay but I’ve seen him spit it out on occasion. I feel like a mad scientist putting together his feed. This is informative for the day that my boy won’t have any teeth in the future. Thank you!

He's so handsome 😍 I have a 20 ish year old mare and she eats haylage just fine but I hadn't thought about whether she was getting less nutrients from it or not... Definitely something to consider as she gets older!

Good video thank you! I do use timothy/alfalfa pellets by Standlee which I do soak w very warm water which breaks them down in about 24 minutes. No worries about "fermintation" bcuz he eats it up in about oh say 5 minutes so I watch him as he gobbles this up!😁

Thank you ! I have an almost 40 year old Paso fino that is blind and has no teeth left! I have to feed him grain..I need this video!

You can also add water to other feeds to soften them or put them in the beets.

What is the weight of the dry pellets in your scoop?

This is amazing how a backyard horseperson w ith 2 horses has 36K subscribers and is giving advice on feeding horses. She flat out admits ignorance on several aspects of feeding and is not wetting down the soaked combination enough to help prevent an intestinal impaction. If the horse hasn't taken in enough water and you feed them soaked pellets that is at a paste-like consistency, their system can soak up the water that is in the soaked mix and turn that mix into a hard, dry impaction that will colic them and kill them. Maybe...maybe a trip to the vet in their intensive care unit with IV's will get the impaction to move at a thousand dollars a day. But the chances are slim. Your soaked pellets need to be soupy, people. This is just amazing.

Wow your new horse is looking good! I learned about cooking whole oats from old time racehorse trainers. I actually use rolled barley as it isn't such a high energy feed.I boil water then pour in grain then turn off heat, putcovered pan into a styrofoam box, cover w/ towels and lid. then in the morning its nice and warm, all puffed up. It isn't that much grain , and I add my alfalfa pellets into that along with supplements. It keeps moisture in their system, and the weight on, and they usually get big dapples to boot. This is only for my old horses that have trouble keeping weight on. Thanks for the tips.

Very informative! Thank you 🙄 I'm going bitless so now I'm stuck with a bunch of bridles. Can you do a video on how to convert my existing bridles to bitless in a budget-friendly way? 😄

How big are the holes in the hay bag.

I think what you're referring to is when horses aren't kept out on grass grazing and pulling at the grass which keeps their teeth strong. Horeed that have a hard time eating hay in their early 20s or so were mostly stalled their hole lives I have heard

There's a whole bunch of fermented horse feeds. ( chaff hay, etc ) Apparently not a problem according to my vet

If keeping weight on him is hard try giving him oil not a strong flavered oil something reasonably nice smelling it is very high energy so he may get a bit over himself and bounce around more like a two year old some horses really don’t take to oil added to their feed I always usesd sunflower oil as horses generally like sunflower seeds but introduce it slowly to judge his reaction to it you may need to have a heavy hand with the molasses to hide the flavour of the oil

If not feeding senior feed add sand colic supplement...it's psyllium and prevents colic. I have 24 yr old with some missing teeth...he had near colic in past until adding psyllium. Most senior feeds have some. Because of his past I still add sand colic once weekly. He gets some hay to keep him busy too, lol.
