RE: [RC] Help with administering electrolytes - Katrina MosshammerHI Naomi,
I tried something different with my
mare and she seems to like it. I broke up some carrots and dip them in my tub of
electrolytes and get them really coated and she just loves them. I was
trying to get something that I could giver her while on her back out on trail.
At the last ride I thought I'd just just put the carrots and the elytes in a
ziplock in my pack and just do a "shake and bake" thing when I needed them. Well
the first loop was actually 2 loops so half way I just dosed her at the trailer.
When I got in to the first vet check I pulled them out when I pulled my vet card
out. Well, lets just say it didn't work according to plan. The only thing I had
in that ziplock was carrots and elytes. When I pulled it out 17 miles later it
was a sopping wet mess. There was at least a cup of water in the bag. My mare
wouldn't even look at the shriveled up stubs that used to be carrots. LOL So
next time I'll carry them in separate bags and just mix them as I need them.
We'll see if that works. :-)
Katrina
