Although if you are to go to the feed store, they can tell you what you need to look out for and you can look at the ingredients on the bag. Beet pulp is reletively low in potassium and is to be soaked before consumed to prevent choking (although it is high in calcium so be aware). Look for feeds that contain beet pulp and soy hull because of their low potassium levels. They also have a great amount of fiber. There are also certain mixed feeds already formulated out there for low potassium (I think Tripple Crown is one of them?). Also soaking hay before it is fed for at least thirty minutes can reduce potassium by as much as 50%. It also kind of depends on where you live, and when the hay is cut, how its cut and if its has been fertilized (ask your feed store manager about these things too). Grass hay and mixed are the best for HYPP horses because they still maintain a good amount of protein. I’m not sure of any particular web site.

I did not know apples had that potassium, hmmmm might have to reduce my horses amount of apples then ! lol But anyway, check your facts, look this apple potassium thing up on another site or in a book and if 2 different websites say the same thing exactly, then the fact is right. Otherwise it could be made up. Also, keep in mind the digestive system of a horse. it's not very good, half of what they eat isn't absorbed properly. keep lookin' :) best of luck with your horse!
