What’s the Difference Between Speedi-Beet™ and Barastoc Fibre-Beet® Mash?
SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
What’s the Difference Between Speedi-Beet™ and Barastoc Fibre-Beet® Mash?
If you’re wondering whether to feed your horse Speedi-Beet™ or Barastoc Fibre-Beet® Mash, the key difference comes down to what your horse needs—maintenance or safe weight gain.
Speedi-Beet™ is a high-quality, unmolassed (95% sugar-free) beet pulp flake, making it ideal for horses that require a low-sugar, high-fibre maintenance feed. It soaks quickly into a soft, palatable mash and supports hydration all year round. It’s particularly useful for horses with metabolic concerns or those prone to laminitis, as it provides safe, digestible fibre without excess sugar or starch.
Barastoc Fibre-Beet® Mash, on the other hand, is a conditioning feed—perfect for horses needing to gain or maintain condition, particularly through the colder months. It contains all the benefits of Speedi-Beet™, with added ingredients including:
Lucerne – for quality protein and calcium
Oat fibre (grain-free) – for extra digestible fibre
Linseed – a source of omega fatty acids for coat shine and condition
Biotin – to support healthy hooves
Peppermint – for palatability
Together, these ingredients make Fibre-Beet® Mash a great choice for horses needing safe weight gain, improved body condition, and forage support, especially useful for older horses or those with poor dentition.
Shared Benefits
Both feeds are:
Designed to be fed wet—supporting natural hydration and digestion
Low in sugar and starch, making them suitable for horses prone to laminitis
High in fibre and BETA NOPS certified—making them safe for horses prone to gastric ulcers
Quick soaking in warm or cold water, forming a soft, easy-to-chew mash
Whether you're feeding for maintenance or condition, both Speedi-Beet™ and Barastoc Fibre-Beet® Mash are excellent additions to your horse’s diet—providing versatile, fibre-rich options to suit different needs.
