Summary
Dr. Nicole Rambo and Sarah discuss the critical role of electrolytes—minerals such as sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, and magnesium—in supporting hydration, performance, and recovery in horses. They explain how heavy sweating can lead to significant electrolyte losses, causing subtle signs such as reduced performance, soreness, poor recovery, and decreased appetite or thirst. The episode covers when plain salt may be sufficient and when a dedicated electrolyte supplement is warranted, along with practical ways to identify horses with high sweat losses.
