[RC] Intake vs output - D'Arcy Demianoff-ThompsonThank you, Duncan, for your replay. It makes a lot of sense. I am not a proponate of blanketing or clipping horses. I would think that the blanketed horses might take in more water given the heat that is generated under those blankets. One the same token that would also increase output. Therefore, I would think their potassium levels would be affected and have need of electrolytes. So, I am not really understanding why the rugged horses would not be as sensitive to the need for electrolytes as unrugged horses. Maybe I need to go back to chemistry and physics class. :) D'Arcy L.
