Re: RC: Nutrition for a week long ride

Definitely electrolyte, starting a day or 2 beforehand, esp if it will be hot 
& you know your horse sweats alot.  Bring along a tube (in a double ziplock 
bag, as electrolytes like to leak!) in a pack so you can give 1/3 tube during 
the ride if the horse is drinking.  Put out plenty of water if you 
electrolyte ahead of time; the horse should drink more than normal if you 
electrolyte.

Have fun on your ride!!
