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.
