OK I think that one's out of the running (Finish Line's Apple-A-Day), I called
to get more detailed info on the ingredients and they said it has sodium
bicarbonate in it.  I had JUST read Gayle Ecker's writeup at
http://www.octra.on.ca/articles/Dehydration.php where she said don't use
anything with sodium bicarbonate.  "5. For endurance horses, do not use an
electrolyte supplement containing bicarbonate. Generally, due to the sweat
loss, the horse is already alkalotic, and the bicarbonate would increase this."

Is this information correct?  If so, I'll just have to wait and buy somewhere
else.

I could still use that evaluation writeup though, if anyone knows where it is!

Thanks,
