A main priority every horse owner should have is proper electrolyte balance and hydration. In stressful situations such as travel, breeding, or heavy training, horses may not be taking in all the fluids that they need, between 5 - 15 gallons a day. Electrolytes are essential for mineral balance, to maintain the balance and flow of vital body fluids, the transmission of nerve impulses, and the healthy function of the muscles and the circulatory system. Feeding daily electrolytes is important for performance, endurance, pre and post-event, or during periods of increased temperature or humidity.
