## Resource

Welcome to Feeding Horses, sponsored by Tribute. Electrolytes are one of those topics horse owners hear about constantly—especially during the summer, but there’s still a lot of confusion around what they actually do, when horses truly need supplementation, and how to use electrolyte products effectively and safely. To help us understand all of that host Stephanie Ruff talks with Michael Lindinger, PhD, a professor at the University of Guelph, in Ontario, Canada, and president of Nutraceutical Alliance. They discuss the science of electrolyte balance in horses, what happens when horses sweat, and the practical steps owners can take to support hydration and recovery. Take a listen! If you’ve ever stood in the feed room wondering, “Am I actually feeding my horse the right thing?”—you’re not alone. Feeding your horse can feel overwhelming. There are so many options, so many opinions—and at the end of the day, you just want to do what’s best for your horse. That’s where Tribute Equine Nutrition comes in. They’re here to take that stress off your plate. Tribute combines safe, company-owned manufacturing with fixed formulas and the highest-quality ingredients—so you can trust that what you’re feeding is consistent and reliable. And they stand behind it with a 100% money-back guarantee. But what really makes a difference is their team.

They’re also investing in the future of horse health through their own research farm, Tribute Equine Research & Innovation Center, so you know the recommendations you’re getting are backed by real research. No matter what kind of horse you have, Tribute has a product—and a team—to support you.…
