RE: [SPAM] [RC] Electrolytes - as a supplement - Rae CallawayReason I'm asking is that I have a boarder - a first time horse owner - who is insisting that I feed her horse electrolytes in his feed. Along with several other supplements. I told her in the beginning that I wouldn't be adding the electrolytes because I didn't feel it was good for the horse, but now she's started prepackaging the supplements and I don't know what all is in there anymore, except for the neon pink tack store electrolytes. If I'm going to take a stand on this, I'd like some facts to back it up.

As someone who doesn't think it is a good idea to supplement healthy horses daily with electrolytes, no, I can't explain why it is a good idea... :-) It's good to have some sort of a salt supplement available to them free choice, but IMO it is healthier to leave it up to them to use it, instead of putting it in their feed.
