>From my experience..electrolytes have nothing to do with appetite..just
drinking. How many rides has this horse done?? I have found many horses do
not eat well at the first half a dozen or so rides and gradually get better.
Some horses "internalize" their excitement and hence appear relaxed and calm
at vet checks when in fact they are really "taking it all in" and not
interested in eating. From what you state, everything else sounds like you
are doing a great job.
