ELECTROLYTES

[AnnaPK]

I have read countless articles and all seem to disagree. Do i feed electrolytes? Is it effective if started during the heat and can I just add them to his normal feed? What is best to use? My horse is 16.3 he jumps once a week schools 2/3 times and hacks 1/2 times.

Its my understanding that you feed them as maintenance. So many people seem to feed them on the day to a horse who is already dehydrated which will only make it more dehydrated. You need to feed them minimium of a couple of days before the event and a couple of days after. Or in your case as maintenance throughout the summer months.
