HorseFlex Electrolyte Mix

HorseFlex Electrolyte Mix is a supplementary feed for horses to support fluid and electrolyte balance.

This mix consists of various minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, which are important for the fluid balance in horses. A horse loses electrolytes every day through sweating, urinating and feces. It is good to keep this loss of fluid and electrolytes in balance. With a shortage of electrolytes, your horse is less able to retain moisture, the elasticity of the skin decreases and its endurance decreases.

During periods of exertion, such as competitions and training, a horse can lose significantly more electrolytes, especially when it is very hot. A horse's body cannot retain water without the presence of electrolytes. Adding these electrolytes to the drinking water ensures that both fluid and electrolytes remain in good balance. HorseFlex Electrolyte mix can also be added to the daily diet, but also ensures sufficient drinking water.

When should I feed my horse electrolytes?
With an average effort of about an hour of trotting and galloping at normal temperatures, a 500kg horse loses about 5 to 7 liters of sweat. Under these circumstances, your horse can still sufficiently replenish the lost electrolytes with a lick and through its daily ration. When your horse makes the same effort at high temperatures, your horse can lose 10 to 12 liters of sweat! Under these circumstances, a horse cannot replenish lost body salts quickly enough with the ration alone and it is advisable to provide extra electrolytes. This way, your horse's body can recover better and you help prevent dehydration.
