Keep Your Horse Hydrated This Summer

As the warmer weather slowly creeps in, it is important to ensure your horses are kept well hydrated. Our Tictac Equestrian team all feed our horse’s additional supplements onto their regular diet and in the summer months we all agree that feeding our horses NAF Electro Salts helps to keep them hydrated and healthy.

When horse’s work and during warm weather they regulate their body temperature by sweating. Excess sweating can not only dehydrate a horse very quickly but as they sweat, they lose essential body salts called electrolytes; sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium being the main four. If we do not replace these electrolytes, it can result in fatigue and damage to muscle, bone and cartilage. NAF Electro Salts is a balanced combination of plasma salts:

• ·         Sodium
• ·         Potassium
• ·         Calcium
• ·         Chloride
• ·         Magnesium

Combined with dextrose to optimise absorption of the salts, NAF Electro Salts is an ideal supplement for horses in any level of work or for any horse during warm weather when excess sweating can occur. It is also recommended to give your horse a Himalayan rock salt lick to help them obtain their daily salt requirements. NAF Electro Salts can be fed in your horses feed or dissolved in their water.

Lauren has fed her horses Electro Salts every summer for over four years as they are all in high levels of work. Combined with the warm summer weather it makes it essential to keep your horse well hydrated. Even her three retired ponies have Electro Salts add

ed into their water in the field J NAF Electro Salts are available in 1kg and 4kg containers.
