FAQ
Q. Can you give horses electrolytes daily?
A: It is recommended to use Electromix Electrolytes & Sweat™ on a daily basis, complemented by the rehydration drink Horsport Rehydration & Recovery™, which should be used following strenuous exercise to aid fluid replacement and fast recovery.
Q. How do I know if my horse needs electrolytes?
A: Some signs that your horse may need electrolytes:
1. Heavy Sweating:
1. Heavy Sweating:
- If your horse sweats a lot, especially during exercise or hot weather, it loses essential electrolytes like sodium, chloride, potassium, and magnesium.
- You may notice white, salty streaks on their coat where sweat has dried.
- Horses that are low on electrolytes might show signs of tiredness, weakness, or muscle fatigue during or after exercise. They may struggle to recover after strenuous activities.
- If your horse seems to be underperforming compared to their usual capacity, it could be a sign of electrolyte imbalance.
- Dehydration is closely tied to electrolyte loss. Signs of dehydration include dry mucous membranes, sunken eyes, or delayed skin elasticity (skin pinch test: if the skin doesn’t snap back quickly).
- Electrolyte imbalances can reduce a horse's desire to drink, exacerbating dehydration and worsening the situation.
- Muscle stiffness or cramps, especially after exercise, can be a sign of electrolyte depletion. Horses prone to tying-up syndrome often benefit from electrolyte supplements.
- In hot and humid environments, horses lose electrolytes more rapidly, increasing the risk of heat stress. Symptoms include heavy panting, elevated heart rate, and difficulty cooling down after exercise.
- If your horse’s diet is not adequately balanced, particularly if forage and grains don’t meet their mineral needs, they may require additional electrolyte supplementation.
Q. How do you replenish electrolytes in horses?
A: Most racing and competing horses are able to maintain their acid/alkali balance when provided with an appropriate electrolyte mix such as Electromix Electrolytes & Sweat™ and free access to water at all times. It is recommended to use Electromix Electrolytes & Sweat™ on a daily basis, complemented by the rehydration drink Horsport Rehydration & RecoveryTM, which should be used following strenuous exercise to aid fluid replacement and fast recovery.
Q. Should I give my horse electrolytes in the winter?
A: Electrolytes are an important part of your horse's health care maintenance even during cold weather. Electrolytes are an excellent tool to encourage water intake and can aid in reducing the incidence of impaction colic which can be more prevalent in winter subsequent to decreased water intake.
Q. What are electrolytes good for in horses?
A: The key electrolytes sodium, potassium and chloride are predominantly lost in sweat along with calcium and magnesium. Electrolyte supplements such as Electromix Electrolytes & Sweat™ are formulated for horses to correct fluid balance and to assist in the prevention of dehydration that can occur secondary to electrolyte loss in sweat.
