us.

What exactly is your dosing protocol?
Pre ride breakfast, the horse gets the HWG with her electrolytes and
after the 50 is done. We take a nice milkshake for breakfast and also one
post ride. My friend is doing two day 100s right now. When she does the
one day 100s we'll probably dose again at 50 mile point..is that right?

All this HWG use has been during our Florida winter season. As the heat
gets worse what possible complications could there be?

stuff has medium chain triglycerides (fast-acting fats) in it and might
be a better overall loader for endurance animals than our MCT-free
racehorse loaders. If you want, I'll send you three different sample
products to compare with HWG--let's just see which is the best and what's
the best way to use this kind of product.

horse is very competitive and fit and they are planning to do Outlaw
Trail in the fall.

Give me details on variations you want us to try and we'll keep track of
the results. Will this be mostly subjective or do you want some kind of
objective data?

Thanks much:)
