I suspect that even with moderate use of
electrolytes, most horses end a ride in a sodium deficit. My only
supporting evidence is that Ranger would consistently exhibit mild colic
symptoms a day or two after a ride. As an experiment, I continued elyte
dosing for a couple of days post ride. The mild colic symptoms
dissappeared. I have done enough rides since to know that at least for him
this works.
