Electrolyte usage in horses. 🏇🐴☀️

During the summer, horses, when doing extensive exercise can sweat a lot and lose a lot of electrolytes. This can affect their performance whether this is barrel racing, cross country jumping or long days trekking. The horses can suffer from symptoms that range from feeling “tired” to being ‘tied up’, to having “heaves”.
The main electrolytes that are involved are
Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Magnesium and Calcium. Some of the electrolytes are in a horses feed, but if the horse is doing extensive exercise, this will not be sufficient to replace what is lost from sweat.
We can do blood tests to check their levels electrolytes if they are in work, and this can help you plan their supplements.
There are many different types of electrolyte mixes available to purchase. You do need to be aware that not all are created equal.
If you would like some more info, please contact us at Clutha Vets to discuss your horse’s requirements.
