I tried Powerade for awhile, since it was cheaper than Gatorade, and got
major upset stomach and craved visits to the Porto-Let.

I recommend about 1/2 Gatorade and 1/2 water.  Our ranger said that's the
proper breakdown of electrolytes...that Gatorade is a little heavy.  That
works well because I like to carry water on the trail, in case I need to
squirt it on my horse, and I drink Gatorade in camp.

About your horse...did you give electrolytes?
