Re: Electrolyte Comparisson - updated; input from Susan?

If I remember correctly, EnduraMax mixed with Optamax and applesauce, and
occasionally Lyte Now.

I have a pretty good memory.

Yup.  Though the definition for "what works" has also been backed up with
chem panels, plus your own experience in how well the horses feel and
perform.  I can't stress enough the value in getting serial blood work done
at rides.  I've talked to a BUNCH of people that insisted their horse was
doing just great on their current protocols, but oh okay, were willing to
change things just a bit and lo and behold, they started eating better,
drinking better, performing better and didn't fade in the stretch.

Always worth looking for better solutions, but just b able to recognize when
you've found the optimum plan.:-)
