Here is an update:

LyteNow 2

DynaSpark 3

Add DynaPro 1

Endura-Lytes 1

Roll-your-own 1

Electrolytes w/ Yogurt

Running Bear 1

Enduramax Powder 2 (+15 horses)

POFAW 1

(Plain old food and water, and don't over-ride your horse)

I appreciate all the feedback folks, and the advice that came with

it. Lots of good stuff in there. I think I might check out the

DynaSpark, since horses seem to like the taste, and keep some LyteNow

on hand as a "just in case of emergency" item if I need something

fast-acting.

The electrolytes I currently have (nobody mentioned them - AppleLyte

crystals) I use pretty sparingly, and only on really hot days or

before a race. I knew that you could over-dose on elytes, so I

generally add it to his beet pulp the night before. If I get heavy-

handed, my horse won't eat it, so that limits me to giving him about

a quarter of what the directions call for. I mostly use them to try

and get him to drink really well before the ride.

Thanks!
