I did notice the discussion about electrolytes...Pedialyte was mentioned. I
sold Shaklee for a time and they have a product called "Performance". It is
designed like Gatorade in a sense, but is used by marathoners for rehydration
because it doesn't have to be digested like Gatorade...It goes straight into
the system. I heard a lady in California talk about using Performance and
some of the food supplements for her trotters. She said that the horses
loved the taste and actually preferred it over other supplements. It might
be worth checking into. If you want more info, contact me and I can get you
an address. (I don't sell Shaklee anymore, but the products are great and I'd
recommend the sports supplements to all riders for themselves!)
By the way, if any of you are out in Oregon...I'd love to locate my horse (I
raised and trained him.), the one I had to sell so many years ago. His
registered name was "Bay Silhouette" (call name "Eagle"), registration #1A
185550 with the Half-Arabian registry, foaled 6/12/78. He was freeze branded
on the right side of the neck. The last time I checked with the registry, he
was still registered to me, so no luck there. It's a long story, but I would
really like to know if he's still around. He was last seen near Madras,
Oregon.
Thanks!
