Electrolytes are essential to the body for normal functioning and it is important to maintain their proper balance.
Sodium chloride, potassium, calcium and magnesium are the primary electrolytes. Electrolyte deficiencies typically occur due to strenuous muscular activity and dehydration from physical exertion. When your horse sweats there is loss of not only water but also these primary electrolytes.
It is important to provide your horse with electrolytes during warm weather and periods of extensive exercise. Diarrhea may also deplete electrolyte and fluid levels.
Ride-Rite electrolytes, made by A.B.C. contains Jeannie Waldron`s formulation with additional K citrate, Ca sulfate, amino acetic acid, Mg sulfate, Na sulfate, Si dioxide, etc. These additional ingredients act as "buffers" to the highly acidic chlorides and acetates. A.B.C. recommends feeding these electrolytes in conjunction with Pro-Bi to maintain gut sounds and deter appetite suppression.
Ride-Rite Electrolytes now have Vitamins:
*
Vitamin B6: Controls sodium to potassium levels in body fluids. If the sodium to potassium ratio is out of balance due to a B6 deficiency, swelling of tissues in the legs will persist. Vitamin B6 also increases the availability of iron, reducing the risk of anemia.
*
Vitamin C in the form of Ester C: When sweat glands are overworked, C is quickly used up. When this occurs normal function of the sweat glands is weakened thus affecting the performance of your horse.
When to use Ride-Rite Electrolytes:
*
Include Ride-Rite Electrolytes in your horse's diet pre, post, and during your competition, race or event. We suggest the Ions to be used as your daily electrolyte.
