I just recently starting using Perform N Win electrolytes.  Today, after a 
fairly short ride (although we were working in plowed fields some of the 
time), I was messing around with my new guy and offered him some Perform N 
Win electrolytes in my hand.  He licked them all up.  I scooped up another 
palmful; he ate them all again.  Another palmful; same deal.  After three 
scoops from my hand, he nosed my hand out of the way and started eating them 
out of the bucket.  This horse has free access to mineral salt and plain salt 
and this new Moorman's mineral block, but he was still just munching down on 
the Perform N Win.  So, my question is, does he actually need these 
electrolytes if he's eating them?  Or is it possible that he just likes the 
taste?  Can I leave out "free choice" Perform N Win for him at the rides, or 
will he make himself sick?
