Re: [RC] Electrolyte muffins - rides2far@xxxxxxxxHey Susan, Just trying to think of something that could have made a difference for your horse. How many of these muffins are you certain your horse ate during the ride? Why add Tums to Perform 'n Win? I think a "dose" of my homemade electrolytes is 2-OZ. So for 12 muffins to have 1/2 dose would require 12-oz. of mine. From what I understand you have to double the dose for Perform n' win since it has so much other stuff in there...so for a muffin to have 1/2 dose would it not take 4 times more Perform 'n Win (24 oz) instead of 6? You mentioned that you didn't feed Alfalfa which is another good source of calcium. If I'm right on this it could have made a difference in your horse's ability to utilize energy. Is there a reason you don't want to just dose your electrolytes? I know people on here have downed that a lot on RC, but I have a hard time worrying about that when our horse is eating great and showing lots of go with no big deal made of it. Angie I sprayed muffin tins with Pam & baked them about 25 minutes, on 350, just watching them. I also left out one ingredient -- 1/4 c. water. They mix up really wet, but when they bake up they'll hold >>>>together nicely for travel. 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 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
