we've ordered shredded sugar beet and with the cold weather we've been getting up here I'm sure they'll be more than happy to have something warm in their tummy in the mornings

Bought some more SB nuts today (25kg), enquired about the shreds and was told they are the same price but only 20kg, I'll stick to soaking the nuts for longer. I occasionally gave them a few dry, but read they can swell in the throat and cause problems, so now always soak them well.

We even have a belkin boiler on a timer set up outside the tack room so we have boiling water morning and night

Is that so they can make their own hot drinks?

We mix 6 scoops of SB pellets , 2 scoop linseed grass pellets ( or soya grass if you can get it ) and 2 scoop of alfalfa pellets and 2 hi fi pellets in a large plastic dustbin , fill to the top with water and soak for 24 hrs. this lasts us about 3 days and does the horses and goats.
this is then mixed with their hard feed , you can then add some hot water to make a warm porridge
