What are Electrolytes, and Why are They Important?

Electrolytes are often touted as elements that are essential to combating dehydration and heat stress...What are they?

Electrolytes are minerals (magnesium, potassium, sodium, and calcium) that are lost through perspiration or other forms of dehydration, particularly in heat stress situations.
Under ideal conditions, electrolytes within the body flow through muscle cells to keep the muscles functioning normally. However, physical exertion and perspiration deplete cells of fluids and electrolytes, thereby weakening the muscle tissues. When a proper balance of electrolytes is maintained, each element plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy and stable body.
Sodium plays a role in maintenance of osmotic pressure of extracellular fluid and movement of fluid from one compartment to another; gastrointestinal absorption of specific sugars and proteins;
normal muscle activity and function; as well as cell permeability. Potassium plays a role in normal excitability of nervous tissue and the ability of muscular contraction, especially cardiac, skeletal,
and smooth muscles; intracellular osmotic pressure and ionic balance; and the prevention of heat cramps.
It is very important to remember the dangers of working in excessive heat and of the need to replace fluids and Electrolytes lost through sweating, for both you and your horses!

RIDE - RITE Electrolytes

Electrolytes are essential to the body for normal functioning and it is important to maintain their proper balance. Sodium chloride, potassium, calcium and magnesium are the primary electrolytes. Electrolyte deficiencies typically occur due to strenuous muscular activity and dehydration from physical exertion. When your horse sweats there is loss of not only water but also these primary electrolytes.

It is important to provide your horse with electrolytes during warm weather and periods of extensive exercise. Diarrhea may also deplete electrolyte and fluid levels.

Ride-Rite electrolytes, made by A.B.C. contains Jeannie Waldron`s formulation with additional K citrate, Ca sulfate, amino acetic acid, Mg sulfate, Na sulfate, Si dioxide, etc. These additional ingredients act as "buffers" to the highly acidic chlorides and acetates. A.B.C. recommends feeding these electrolytes in conjunction with Pro-Bi to maintain gut sounds and deter appetite suppression.

PRO BI & RIDE-RITE Electrolytes----A WINNING COMBINATION!

*Just a note about the Pony Express, we did use the electrolyte/Pro Bi combination with "Rio" and Judith's mare, "Sonya". Both horses completed all five days. Both horses had great appetites and never once appeared dehydrated. "Rio" completed his 10,000 mile. He also had two 6th places, in BC, and overall BC and 5th place for the five days. "Sonya" is only 6 and she had one top ten and was 8th overall for the 5 days. She looked spectacular at the finish. We are both happy with the electrolyte/Pro Bi mix. ....Becky Hart

Cindi Hein & Seytez Rainbo (Shaw nee) Pro BI & Ride Rite Electrolytes Testimony

My horse Shaw nee & I rode at a ride in Scipio, Utah at the end of July. It was just an awful hot and smokey (from all the wild fires) day. If have just recently started using Ride-Rite Electrolytes with Pro Bi added to it. We pulled into the noon vet check and Shaw nee wouldn't eat. She was drinking water. Not even her mash that she just loves. Vetted out ok though. Very perky in her trot. So, about 10 minutes before we left the vet check, I gave her the electrolytes with ProBi. About 45 minutes later Shaw nee wanted to eat grass along the trail. We came onto a part of the trail where our crew was. We offered her hay, etc. She was eating normal again. The Pro-Bi got her gut floura working and she ended up looking great at the end of the ride.
