I liked what Heidi said about e-lytes, makes sense
to me.
I also think maybe we teach the horses body to need
more by giving them all the time.
I think horses adapt to hard work and
the body learns to conserve essential minerals in sweat. If e-lytes
are always replaced quickly there is no survival adaptation.
I have almost never given e-lytes while training,
and there have been no reasons to change that yet. But most of the
horses I've used have been raised and kept in the open, on pastures.
And they have been the old fashioned, hard working kind, Arabs, Quarter Horses,
and just "horse".
Just my thoughts, to each his
own.
