Frequently Asked Questions
If a horse is sweating consistently over a long period of time AND will have access to water frequently you can give 60 grams of electrolyte every hour to two hours. If water is not available on a frequent basis give 60 grams of electrolyte when you know the horse will have access to water and can have a good drink.
Electrolytes aid with muscle contraction and help to create energy stores. Electrolytes also help to maintain the horse's body temperature, as they help to regulate the amount of water in the body.
