[RC] for those who use electrolytes...help those newbies - Jonni
OK, So, I have sort of a challenge for
those who regularly use electrolytes, and feel they have a good understanding of
"why" they do so. Can you explain to those very new to the
sport, how electrolytes work in the horses body, and just what they do.
Why do they make the horse drink? And, why do we not want to give
electrolytes to a very dehydrated horse. What can happen? What can happen
if a horse gets too much electrolytes? I would love to hear these answers
in a very simplistic manner, than any newbie who lurks could
understand.
So, who is game??? (you vets can sit this one out, you have that unfair
advantage)
And for those of you who feel this subject gets beat to death, and want
more "scientific" posts on this sport, this is your chance to shine. Please help
these new folks out who are confused about electrolytes.
