My opinion:
My personal experience is that IF IF IF a horse is well conditioned (for the
speed and distance asked of it) and well hydrated with a full gut, and eats
and drinks during the event, then it can perform adequately without orally
administered syringes of salt.
My opinion:
And if it is not conditioned for the speed and distance, and is not well
hydrated, and does not have a full gut, and does not want to eat and drink
prior to and during competition, then it should probably not be competing,
and administering oral syringes of salt will probably not help, and might
actually hurt.
