Quoted from the study:

"The high dose (HD) was 0.4 g/kg NaCl and 0.13 g/kg KCl
(equivalent to 180 g of NaCl and 60 g of KCl in a
450-kg horse) that was estimated to replace losses of
30 l of sweat. The low dose (LD) was 0.13 g/kg
NaCl and 0.04 g/kg KCl (equivalent to 60 g of NaCl
and 20 g of KCl in a 450-kg horse) that was estimated
to replace losses in 10 l of sweat. During the first
ride, four horses received HD, and the other four
horses received LD. Treatments were reversed for
the second ride. Riders and official ride veterinarians
were blinded to the treatments. One-half of the electrolyte
dose was administered as a slurry in applesauce
with an oral-dose syringe 30 min before the
ride start. The second one-half of the dose was administered
during the rest period after completion of
the first 40 km."
