[RC] - Julie Fuller


What goes wrong is when the energy levels drop to the point that he can
no longer transport specific ions across cell membranes.  THEN he gets
into what SEEMS to be e-lyte difficulty--but it isn't that at all.

Of course, if he doesn't go into the ride with a good hindgut fill, he
does not have the e-lyte reserve.  But then he doesn't have an energy
reserve, either.  So when you just throw more and more e-lytes at him,
you may actually do more harm than good.


Heidi,

What you said here.... you know, it really made things clear for me. I'm no idiot, and god knows I've read tons of info on elytes, carbs, everything, but this really made it all click for me. Funny how that happens sometimes. *grin* I feel like I've had an epiphany! (uh oh! religion!)

Now what I'd really like to see is a comparison of elytes that shows which brands have a ratio of all the ingredients closest to what is optimal in horse forage. Any of you brainiacs out there care to take this on?

Julie
