RE: [RC] [RC] Study on electrolyte/ulcers - Juli Jakub

Angie,
I am not opposed to using e-lytes. I certainly do not think it is a religion. I do not have anywhere near enough knowledge to feel that strongly about it! I am just relieved that it seems that it is safe and okay to do some slow rides without e-lyting and take some time to determine if the horse actually needs it. I am sure many people e-lyte with great success...they also understand what they are doing. I have e-lyted event horses when I felt they need it.( Although not often) I was just worried because I had the impression everyone in endurance used them and I did not understand why or how they were being used in the context of endurance. If I have a horse that needs them, certainly they will get them, but it is nice to start simply in a sport that is so involved. One less thing to worry about doing right in those first, slow attempts! Cheers,

I'm picturing my
horses dragging me around eating grass ravenously after a ride. They've
had a lot of electrolytes and it doesn't seem to stop them from eating.
No sign of upset stomachs, talking to me for their grain. If you don't
want to use them, fine, but the non-electrolyte people start to sound a
lot like the "no shoes" people. It's not a religion you know.

Angie
