[RC] Electrolytes revisited - rides2farWhat really bothers me is that no one but Tom Ivers has bothered to mention to riders that it takes energy to get electrolytes to go into the proper places- Sure they have. I believe every speaker on electrolytes that I've sat through has. At the convention in Reno several years ago Susan Garlinghouse had slides that I believe showed the horse's glucose levels or something like that. I remember them explaining that it was needed for the electrolytes to be used. Then there was a place on the graph where the levels spiked and we asked what that was and the reply was, "Oh, he ate some hay there". So..I figured so long as my horse was eating, he didn't require the brand that's 90% other stuff and takes 3 doses to get the recommended amount of electrolytes in the horse. Isn't it Perform'n Win that everybody loves the taste of...but it requires high dosages? If that's the brand, had 2 different people who had trouble with their recoveries when they switched and then they realized they were supposed to give 2 or 3 times as much of it. The horse was getting a lot of good tasting stuff other than salts. So...now that I've been incredibly vague trying to avoid being trapped with my bad memory...*supposing* that this brand has lots of "energy" providers in it and fewer electrolytes, does this not satisfy yours & Tom Iver's (rest his soul) concerns? How is that different than my horse eating lots of hay & slurry & getting a dose of lite salt desolved in yogurt shot in on top of it all at the end of a vet check?
