Ingredients

Electrolyte Composition per 1 oz (approximately 1 scoop):

Directions for Use 

Serving and Storage Instructions

• Always provide free-choice, fresh water alongside electrolyte supplementation.

• Do not offer electrolytes to a horse unwilling or unable to drink without veterinary advice.

• One scoop equals one ounce of Summer Games Electrolyte Powder.

• Adjust supplementation based on workload and environmental conditions as per the table below:

• For doses of 3 to 4 ounces per day, divide into feedings no larger than 2 ounces each.

• Powder form allows easy top-dressing over daily grain rations.

• During cold months, ½ to 1 ounce daily can stimulate thirst and support hydration to reduce impaction colic.

• Horses must have access to ice-free, fresh water when supplemented with electrolytes.

Guidelines for Workload Estimation

• Light Work: Visible sweat loss (up to 5 liters), e.g., dressage, pleasure, trail riding.

• Moderate Work: Dripping sweat (5-10 liters), e.g., jumping, racing, barrel racing.

• Heavy Work: Extended dripping sweat (over 10 liters), e.g., upper-level eventing, polo.

Sweat Loss Estimation

• Approximate sweat loss by body weight changes: 1 kg (2.2 lb) weight loss ≈ 0.9 liters of water lost.

• For example, an 11-lb weight loss after work equals about 5 liters of sweat loss, corresponding to ~2 oz Summer Games per day.

• Weigh your horse before and after exercise for an accurate assessment.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed between uses.

• Shelf life is 24 months from manufacture under proper storage conditions.
