Susan, 
do you mix up a bunch of electrolytes  (several 2
ounce doses) first with apple sauce/water etc., put it
into the squeeze bottle and then use as needed...or do
you carry squeeze bottle with apple sauce or whatever
else and little film containers of electrolytes and
only mix them together when you are about to dose your
horse???
Hope I'm being clear...pre-mix    vs.   mixing just
before dosing - if pre-mixing, how can I be sure that
there are two ounces of electrolytes in what I have
just squeezed out of the bottle? Maybe this is just a
technicality...I like the idea of simplifying giving
electrolytes, especially when out on the trail, but I
want to be certain about what I am giving too.

I have been carrying electrolytes in film containers,
dumping one in a syringe, adding water, shaking it all
up and then dosing. But its not always easy to get all
of the electrolytes to dissolve in the water. And
there must be a more efficient way with less
fiddling...such as having my syringe all ready with
apple sauce and electrolytes already in it - remove
cap and dose.

I'd like to hear about some of your methods...
Lysane
