Re: [RC] Won't hurt? - Truman Prevatt

Actually Mike, plain old Morton's Lite Salt would be fine to give daily a few days prior to the ride. A mixture of about 4 parts Lite Salt and Dolomite would work fine at the ride - Lite Salt available at your grocery store and Dolomite at your local health food store.

I rode for years - finishing 6 of 7 100's - with nothing more fancy than this.

You get what you pay for, yes, but is it indeed true that a dose of this
powdered type of electrolyte is not sufficient for a horse being ridden
moderately for a LD ride?  Can it be given as a daily regimen a few days
before a race, saving the more expensive "good stuff" for race day?

Just curious, did you use any of the modern brand named *endurance*
electrolytes, or was this back in the day when we used to order the pink
stuff from some place like Jeffers?
