Re: [RC] SLURRIES/SLOP - Heidi Smitheverything was laced with electrolytes too. Can't say as how I blame him for turning up his nose. The LAST thing I want when I'm hot and tired is something "laced with electrolytes." I think we'd be better off taking the time to encourage our horses to really EAT at rides and getting the natural e-lytes that are in the food instead of just pumping them full of e-lytes anyway. The horses that I've had that would REALLY chow down consistently that have had NO lytes have been much closer to normal panels at rides that have done bloodwork than have the majority of the heavily e-lyted horses (many of whom were not eating well). And I think recent information about ulcers will bear out that we've once again gone overboard with a supposedly "good idea" and are actually maybe causing more harm than good.....
