Re: [RC] Secrets to Hydration??? help...... - Maggie MieskeKarla, I always carry one straight water and one mixed half with Gatorade. I try to remember to drink every time my horse does or when we slow down for a breather or meet up with the pit crew...it is important to drink before you become THIRSTY. At vet checks, I have had good luck with cold milk (but I am a milkaholic and would drink that to the exclusion of water if I could but that's not practical on trail cuz it's gotta be COLD!) and/or protein shakes. I buy the Wal Mart brands. Glucerna has also worked well for me because I am diabetic. I drink whatever I crave. Gatorade makes a new flavor in Lemonade and that is perfect for my taste. Sometimes you have to experiment until you find what works. :) Good luck with your article...great idea!! I am the editor of Hoofbeats (the Great Lakes Endurance Riding Association) in Michigan. Maybe you would share your article for a reprint??? It is an important topic!
