Hi, Me and my mom are just getting into doing endurance riding, I have a question about electrolyte use. We have a can of Perform'n Win and Acculyte. How do we feed this to them, do they have to be drinking a lot of water? When we increase our riding to condition they get stressed and the water consuption goes way down, how do we keep them drinking? Will the electolytes help or harm them when the aren't drinking a whole bucket of water a day or even half of it? Should we give them electrolyes before, after, or during long rides?   Thank You for any information
