[RC] electrolytes/dehydration - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Tami home@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Hi, I have only been in a 22 mile ride but have done longer in training. I plan to do a fifty by the end of this summer but before I get serious I need more information. I was wondering how to tell when your horse is requiring electrolyte replacement, the pinch test? does that not just mean they need to drink? What about ulcers in endurance horses that are given a lot of electrolytes? I haven't heard any more about it since an article a few years ago? Thanks for any info you can provide, Tami ===========================================================You don't have to be a 100-mile rider or a multi-day rider to be an endurance rider, but if you want to experience the finest challenges our sport has to offer, you need to do both of those. ~ Joe Long ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
