 A good friend and long time endurance rider gave me a tip about
electrolytes and the horses mouth.  She told me to rinse my horses mouth
with a couple syringes of water after dosing.  I have been doing that and
think I have a happier horse.  It is even messier than giving the elytes,
but can you imagine putting a large spoonful of salt in your mouth,
swallowing it and then not being able to rinse your mouth out.  YUCK!  Even
if you use applesauce, carrot baby food, or what ever that salt is still
very overpowering.
