Mike, check out Dyna-Spark by Dynamite. It is easy to administer..just put it on or in anything, and the horses lap it up! Most will even eat it out of your hand. It is a molasses base, so they get the phosphorus with it in a natural form easily absorbed. I put it into mashes, mix it with applesauce in a water bottle (my horse has learned to turn his head and drink out of the water bottle) I even had to find one he could not bite the top off of, he likes it so much. I crinkle cut carrots and put them into a zip-loc on my saddle, then squirt a bit of Dyna-Spark into the creases..he loves it! I trickle e-lytes into my horses all day long rather than force alot at once.

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.
