FAQ

Why do horses need electrolytes?

When horses sweat, they lose key electrolytes including sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium. These minerals are essential for muscle contraction, nerve function, and fluid balance. Replacing them promptly supports recovery and prevents fatigue, muscle cramps, and dehydration.

When should I give electrolytes?

Aqua-Aide can be given before, during, and after exercise, competition, or travelling. Research shows that administering electrolytes at all three stages provides the best support for hydration and fatigue delay.

Can I add it to my horse’s water?

Yes — Aqua-Aide can be added to water or wet feed. Always provide a separate bucket of plain fresh water alongside electrolyte water, as some horses may refuse to drink electrolyte-supplemented water.

Is it suitable for horses that don’t use salt licks?

Yes — Aqua-Aide is specifically recommended for horses that don’t self-supplement from salt licks or find salt added to feed unpalatable, ensuring they still receive adequate electrolyte support.
