[RC] any good elyte "mixes"??? - Chrystal Woodhouse - Tx Trigger
Original message: >>>So as I am blending up my elytes for a ride this wknd & I try
them....... yuck, they are soooo gross!!!!!!!! I always feel like such an evil
person putting them into my horse, I have done my best.... they are blended with
french vanilla yogourt and 2 banana's but they are still not very good tasting
:-( has anyone found anything that makes them better?????? <<<
I am not sure why we think if something tastes
nasty to us, then it is "nasty" to a horse. Have you ever really thought about
the things horses will willingly eat? Beyond hay, think about the kinds of
foliage they will grab and eat along the trail. Will that taste good to us?
Probably not. Also, horses mouths can handle things that would have ours
bleeding. My horse LOVES those purple flowers off the tops of thistles. Anyone
here want to try popping one in their mouth and chewing it up like a horse
does? Horses will stand and lick on a salt block, yet if we did the same
thing, as long as they might stand there and do so, how do you think our mouths
would handle it?
So, unless I need an e'lyte that I want to take
myself also during a ride, I am not as concerned about how it "tastes" , but
more if it has the things in it my horses system might need during a ride to
help replenish them from the electrolytes they lose.
