Ok, Angie, I'm going to give it a shot.  I split it up into 4 parts.  I don' t know what the limits are, but maybe that will work. 

 

Thanks everyone else, so far for your comments.  Someone mentioned my electrolytes -- I made my own electrolyte "cookies" which were really more muffins with Perform n Win & each muffin had 1/2 an oz in it so we fed 2 in the am & 2 later after they started drinking.  We had pre-loaded with Lyte Now syringe paste for a couple of days before before the race including the night before.

 

Our horses love love loved the cookies... here's my recipe if anyone's interested:

 

You have to make it into 12 muffins to have the 1/2 dose per muffin.

2 c. sweet feed

3/4 c. flour

3 oz. molasses/raisons

1 grated carrot

1 grated apple

6 oz. (10 T.) electrolytes (Perform n Win)

2  handfuls rice bran

12 crushed Tums, fruit flavor

1/2 t. cinnamon
