Cooking Salt or Electrolyte Supplement.

[northerngirl]

My Warmblood has been sweating a lot in this boiling weather!! He is worked most days either jumping or flat work, but he seems to have lost his get up & go!!... I think I need to add salt to his feed, he gets very little hard feed & is a good doer! He is having Equivite Vit & Min and garlic granules every day & living on mainly grass & hay....

Which do you think is better, adding cooking salt to his feed every day or should I buy a supplement, such as feedmark Replenish?

Personally I'd feed an electrolyte suppliment.

if you use cooking salt add normal table salt and lo-sodium salt = then you get sodium and potasium which are both needed - thats what i do - and my mare is also a sweaty beaty - she also has a hymilayan salt lick in her field which she does use a bit after particularly long sweaty rides
