I have seen a recomendation by Ridgeway and Merlin
that for a 100 mile ride traveling at about 11mph the horse will require about
2lbs (1kg) of electrolytes. I've also done the maths myself based on reported
sweat volumes and electrolyte concentrations in sweat - sure enough it seems
right. But it sounds like a large amount to me.
Is there anybody who actually knowly adminsiters
this amount? What amounts are folks giving there horses?
