A Guide to Horse Electrolytes

The average horse needs 15,000 calories and five to 10 gallons of water per day to meet their dietary needs. Most horse owners can meet these numbers and achieve optimal health after establishing a well-balanced diet plan. But there’s even more that you can do if you think your horse’s diet falls short and could use some supplements to give it a boost.

Try adding KAUFFMAN’S Apple Electrolyte!

Without a harmonious balance of electrolytes, horses can become dehydrated. This has a significant impact on their overall health and can cause performance to decrease throughout the day. This is worrisome for any owner.

What Are Horse Electrolytes?

In general, electrolytes are minerals present in the body that help maintain the correct balance of fluids in the cells. Dissolved in the blood and tissue, electrolytes help achieve this balance when the positive or negative charges in these minerals bind with another ion to form salt.

Electrolytes play a significant role in several bodily functions including:

  • Muscle contractions
  • Heartbeat regulation
  • Energy levels
  • Blood pressure

When electrolytes aren’t stabilized, these functions diminish, and the condition of the horse’s body declines. Even for the healthiest of horses, this is a great concern many owners confront at some point.

What Do Electrolytes Do for Horses?

In horses, electrolytes help create homeostasis, or balance, in the body so all nutrients work in unison to keep things healthy. The horse will remain active and consistent with its performance if these electrolytes are working together properly.

Does My Horse Need Electrolytes?

There’s some debate as to whether horses need electrolytes. Horses need some electrolytes to remain functional. This can be achieved by adding one to two ounces of salt to their daily intake or using a prepared mix.

Here are some of the main advantages:

  • Enhanced speed, control and power for peak performance
  • Balanced hormones and fewer mood fluctuations
  • Full regulation of bodily functions

These benefits come together to create a positive experience for your horse in the short and long term. Generally, horses who don’t have electrolytes added to their diets are often a step behind those who do.

This is pertinent when trying to optimize your horse’s daily intake from top to bottom. Many owners ignore this and don’t understand what their horse is lacking. Keep in mind that horses are 60% water, so a good balance of electrolytes ensures water and nutrition are efficiently delivered to all their cells.

Reach for Apple Electrolyte for Horses in Hot Weather

Hot weather can become a troubling reality for horses. A lot of energy is expended, and the body exerts sodium and potassium electrolytes. When this occurs, the horse becomes dehydrated and their bodily functions deteriorate.

This is similar to what happens in humans, but it can be worse in horses as they have larger bodies. If you live in a warmer climate and are wondering when to give your horse electrolytes, consider adding them to your horse’s diet as soon as possible.
