Sheila,

 

For the uninitiated (me), do you have a link?

 

Thank you,

Probably Dr. Maul?s recipe administered in Maalox or Mylanta (my gelding loves the Cherry).  Great stuff.

Subject: [RC] Electrolyte

 

I rode with a woman (Ruth, IIRC) from Canada a couple months ago at Carolina who had some electrolytes that I really liked.  Unfortunately, I don't have her contact info so cannot get ahold of her to ask her to remind me what the stuff is called.

 

This probably describes a litany of electrolyte pastes, but the stuff was white and of such a consistency that it was easy to get into the horse's mouth despite the cold outdoor temperature.  The Lyte Now paste I was using was virtually impossible to administer.

 

Can anyone comment on what this stuff might have been, or suggest an electrolyte paste that is easy to administer in the cold.  I like Lyte Now, but seriously could not push the stuff through the syringe.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike
