Weekend Welcome from Kentucky Performance Products: Electrolytes… Who Needs Them?

KPP explains why electrolytes are important and offers guidelines for when they should be used.

From the KPP Tips & Topics Blog:

Electrolytes perform critical functions within your horse’s body.

They help regulate nerve and muscle functions by carrying electrical impulses between cells. In addition, electrolytes assist the body in maintaining a healthy fluid balance by controlling your horse’s desire to drink.

When your horse loses significant amounts of electrolytes and fluids, problems such as dehydration, muscle cramping, fatigue, tying-up, and colic may occur. Even in mild forms, these conditions can have a negative impact on your horse’s ability to perform and recover after exercise.

Summer Games is a unique blend of both electrolytes and trace minerals specifically formulated to replenish critical electrolytes in the proper ratios. Summer Games supports healthy electrolyte balance so horses stay hydrated, perform at optimal levels, and recover faster after exercise or in stressful situations.
