Electrolytes for horses, which are minerals crucial to proper cell functioning, are lost when your horse sweats, either from exercise or high temperatures. Even moderate activity can cause sweating and loss of electrolytes. This is important because electrolytes control proper cell function; when electrolytes are depleted, normal cell functions are reduced.
Supplementation helps to address the problem, and you might consider an electrolyte supplement like ECare Nutrtitionals™ Electrolytes Plus Minerals that will reintroduce lost minerals, maintain proper hydration and restore proper cell function. By improving the electrolytic balance, the supplement helps your horse to perform at peak level without strain.
