Why Electrolytes?
1. When horses sweat, they lose many Vital Nutrients at an alarming rate.
2. These body salts are essential in an array of body processes Heart, Kidneys and Stomach.
3. Electrolytes salts balance the body fluids controlling water levels and intake.
” To encourage them to eat and drink replacing lost nutrients”
When to use
When your horse is in work sweating heavily, be CAREFUL some horses do not show visible signs of sweating, but they will still need electrolytes.
Signs
- Dry of colour coat.
- No energy or spark.
- Dark or cloudy coloured urine.
Which Electrolyte?
Look for a combination of sodium chloride, potassium, chloride, calcium chloride.
Avoid products that are majority fillers like dextrose, sugar or clay.
How to feed an Electrolyte
- Mixed in damp feed.
- Mixed in a syringe.
- In drinking water, always give a choice of drinking water one with and one without.
“VERY IMPORTANT” when feeding electrolytes ALWAYS have a fresh supply of drinking water. Monitor the intake if possible.
FEEDING
All horses that sweat need this product given according to the degree of work because horses often lose more fluid than is obvious. After intense work give two 50g scoops. After moderate work give one scoop daily. Replace lid after use.
Feeding Heavy Sweat is the easy way to ensure your horse is not lacking in these vital salts, you can either add to the damp feed or add to water. If adding to water always make sure your horse has another bucket of clean fresh water.

“Heavy SweatNOW can be given before or immediately after exercise, directly into the mouth.”
When a horse works or exercises it sweats. This is a horse’s natural cooling down mechanism. A horse sweats even more when it is not fully conditioned or fit, in hot or humid weather or when it is nervous, excited or agitated. A horse can lose 15 litres of sweat in one hour in hot, humid conditions. The type and duration of exercise will also determine the level of sweating.
Excessive sweat loss causes an electrolyte imbalance which leads to premature muscle fatigue, reduced stamina, muscle cramps and poor recovery after exercise if not corrected.
HORSEMAN’S TIPS
The pinch test: Pull out a pinch of skin on your horse’s neck or shoulder. Notice how quickly it springs back. If it springs right back into place, he’s not very dehydrated. If he is moderately dehydrated the skin will stay elevated a few seconds after you pull it out. The more dehydrated your horse is, the longer the skin will stay elevated.

The heavy sweat electrolytes used daily on my dressage horses has kept them fully hydrated all year even when the weather was at its hottest – a fantastic product and value for money.

Horse First products are EXCELLENT! Paddy Hughes and his team are long time supporters of ours at Newsam Equestrian! We have used all of their products but particularly love the My Joints, Exselent E, Acid Aid, Relax Me, B Well and Heavy Sweat! Our horses look and feel great on them! Couldn’t give a higher recommendation for equine supplements!

Thank you for sponsoring the NSW Youth Dressage Championships. We were very excited to receive our electrolytes paste from you. It was also great to meet you and purchase a few items from your trade stand.
I gave my horse Miss Fanta the paste on the last day to help pep her up for the freestyle after a couple of days hard work.
