[RC] electrolytes -mix with mashed banana - Teresa Van Hove

Have only used this once so might be a fluke, but last time I went to a ride I mixed my powdered lytes with mashed banana and pancake syrup. Normally I have to 'lyte Grey last thing at a hold as he wont eat or drink for a good while after he gets the 'lytes but this time he was snatching grass as we went to get vetted (unfortunately he vetted out lame with a stone bruise, but I'm definitely going to try bananas instead of applesauce for mixing my lytes in future.)

--Shade is not so easily put off eating and she will grab grass after getting lytes just mixed with applesauce and syrup, but I always taste the 'lytes and the banana mixture buffered the strong salts better --hopefully this will make it easier to get the 'lytes into Shade --she is a stubborn little thing. I save old commercial 'lyte tubes, and also have some oral syringes I bought for giving lytes. I am blanking my brand, think its Enduromax but I'm not sure.

Cheers,
Teresa and Grey and Shade
