RE: [RC] RE : Not using Electrolytes - heidi

I can confirm that many competitive french riders don't use electrolytes at
all.
The french team don't use electrolytes neither, it is disadvised by their
veterinarian, JC Leclercq.
We have stopped using elytes as well in the belgian team.

I just want to add that Leclercq, former team vet and now chef d'equipe
(since the passing of Pierre Cazes) made a study based on tests performed on
several dozens of top french horses during rides. He claims that the results
are proving his theory. He will do a lecture at the intl Veterinarian
convention in Chantilly (region of Paris) in July.

Leonard, thanks for sharing that.  I'd really like to see an English
version of what he reports, if it is possible to get one.

Heidi
