[RC] French team and horse supplements - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Liz Henry liz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Hi all,

Just had a conversation with the coach/trainer of the French endurance team 
about horse supplements. He doesn't use ANY! When I pressed him specifically 
about e'lytes during a ride like at the WEC in Dubai, he said they didn't use 
any. His philosophy is that if the horse is properly conditioned and has access 
to the best hay and grain, he needs nothing else. He said that he experimented 
with supplements and if the temp was 100 with high humidity, then he would 
probably use e'lytes. If his results for the past several years didn't speak 
for themselves, I would be tempted to argue, but..... food for thoughts.

Liz
