Have only used this once so might be a fluke, but last time I went 
to a ride I mixed my powdered lytes with mashed banana and pancake 
syrup.  Normally I have to 'lyte Grey last thing at a hold as he 
wont eat or drink for a good while after he gets the 'lytes but this 
time he was snatching grass as we went to get vetted (unfortunately 
he vetted out lame with a stone bruise, but I'm definitely going to 
try bananas instead of applesauce for mixing my lytes in future.)

--Shade is not so easily put off eating and she will grab grass 
after getting lytes just mixed with applesauce and syrup, but I 
always taste the 'lytes and the banana mixture buffered the strong 
salts better --hopefully this will make it easier to get the 'lytes 
into Shade --she is a stubborn little thing.  I save old commercial 
'lyte tubes, and also have some oral syringes I bought for giving 
lytes.  I am blanking my brand, think its Enduromax but I'm not sure.

Cheers,
Teresa and Grey and Shade
