WHEN DOES A HORSE NEED ELECTROLYTES?

Horses with intense levels of activity, especially in warmer climates, sweat a lot – often more than 10 litres per hour. The sweat contains a lot of water and salt that the horse requires to function optimally. A lack of salt can lead to cramps and muscle disorders. Dehydration and a lack of fluid can lead to colic and muscle disorders and hence, it is essential to replace any lost fluids. Electrolytes (KRAFFT Electrolytes Pro) add salt to the horse’s diet, making it thirsty and wanting to drink more. Feeding the horse Special Processed Cereals (SPC) such as KRAFFT Performance Maxbalance, KRAFFT Performance Energy or KRAFFT Performance can help it normalise its fluid balance and recover faster.
