[RC] Electrolytes and eating - kc85124My older endurance horse, Fox, was really picky about feed, water, etc. and hated anything salty. Never touched the salt block at home either. I started adding 1 to 2 oz. salt to his grain and beet pulp mix at home. After giving electrolytes at a ride I rinse his mouth out with two bottles water and then if he'll eat a handful of grain he is good to go out on trail. If not then he gets more water to rinse him mouth out. Have to be careful he swallows the electrolyte mix first though. My current endurance horse, Dually, loves eating anything and when we had him tied up next to Fox at rides he would lick the electrolytes dribbling from Fox's his mouth. Pretty funny!!
