Thanks Angie. There are now so many different options available - Pro-Formula Liquilite, Horse Guard Re-charge, Pro-Lite Electro Blend, Apple a Day (Finish Line), Apple Elite (Farnam), Stress-Dex, Pharm-vet Quench Lyte, Peak Performance Perfect Balance....yikes! enough to make my head spin.

 

Best to stick with my Perform n Win and stock up in advance :)       

 

Any idea what differs in the ingredients (to make one for race horses versus one for endurance horses)?
