OK, here's where I got that. A friend had one of our endurance vets help
her come up with a recipe for electrolytes for her horse. It was working
well. Then Spring came along, she took her horse to OD and it had access
to more grass there. The horse's manure got very loose. She worried it
was getting dehydrated and gave *more* electrolytes. It ended up pulling.
When she and the vet conferred later he decided they should have cut back
on the magnesium when she hit the lush grass. Of course I didn't take
notes on the discussion and there's a far greater chance that my
recollection is off than there is that the vet was mistaken.That was the
sum total of my exposure to magnesium discussion.  I did notice Naomi
listed the grass as lower than hay, but wondered if that meant by volume,
of which lots would be water?

Honestly, when folks on here start talking all these ions & stuff my head
kinda spins. Then I always think about the good ol' boys who kick my butt
at every ride and never give a thought to ions, balance shoeing or saddle
fit. Ignorance is bliss I guess.
