The Benefits of Electrolytes for Horses
Electrolytes are an excellent supplement to add to your horse’s diet during the summer. Responsible for maintaining hydration, this supplement can greatly benefit a horse’s wellbeing, who’s body is known to be made up of nearly 70% water.
Overall, the nervous system and muscles of horses and humans alike, are dependent on proper hydration. Which, ironically, water alone can sometimes not satiate.
While many horse owners use a salt block and fresh water to manage hydration, you may find that some horse require their thirst response to actually be stimulated in order to want to drink
As the adage goes: “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink”. There’s a reason this rings true – because some horses simply don’t feel inclined to consume water.
Electrolytes for horses will offer them a variety of benefits, including:
- Stimulate a Thirst Response – even while traveling, which can often curb their desire to drink
- Help With Pre-Race ‘Watering’ – which will improve their energy and ensure their muscles are hydrated for race endurance and recovery
- Improve Hydration Through Electrolytes After Sweating
- Rehydrate Amidst Humidity
- Improve Horse Colic Symptoms
