Horse Electrolytes

Keep your equine companion hydrated and performing at their best with our range of horse electrolytes. Formulated to replenish essential minerals lost through sweat during exercise and hot weather, our electrolyte products support optimal hydration and muscle function.

 

What are electrolytes?

Electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, and chloride, are essential minerals for horses, crucial for nerve function, muscle contraction, and fluid balance. Replenishing electrolytes is vital to prevent dehydration, muscle cramping, and decreased performance. Electrolyte supplements are often used to restore balance after strenuous activity, during hot weather or illness, helping maintain overall health and performance.

How do electrolytes become unbalanced in horses?

Horse electrolytes can become unbalanced due to factors like excessive sweating during exercise or in hot weather, inadequate intake through diet or water consumption, illness, stress, dietary imbalances, medications, environmental conditions, or kidney dysfunction. When electrolyte levels are disrupted, it can lead to issues such as dehydration, muscle weakness, fatigue, and decreased performance.

How can I balance and replenish my horses electrolytes?

You can replace horse electrolytes by administering electrolyte supplements, which are available in various forms such as powders, liquids, or pastes, following the manufacturer's recommended dosage. Additionally, ensuring access to fresh water and providing a balanced diet rich in electrolyte-containing foods like grass, hay, and salt blocks can help maintain proper electrolyte levels in horses.
