"Horses that preloaded with electrolytes prior to starting the ride had
lower deficits of electrolytes early in the ride. This is why Mike and I
suggest that
preloading is beneficial when it is done properly. At the next ROC we
attended to carry out research, we could not do this analysis as almost
every rider in the study had preloaded in some way."

So, my question is if your study (and/or experience) could help us out with
what is the proper way to preload electrolytes? I realize that every case is
individual, but what would you call the "proper" way to preload? Are there
any general guidelines that you would care to share with us?

Always in the pursuit of improving the care of my sweet gelding, and very
thankfully,
