HORSE FIRST HEAVY SWEAT 1KG
Product Details
"Puts back what sweat takes out"
Heavy Sweat is formulated to replicate those salts lost during exercise.
Did you realise horses lose salts even more when they are not fully fit?
Horses can lose salts even if they don’t show outward signs of sweating,
especially true in hot humid weather, travelling or when they are
nervous or agitated.
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.
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 dextorse, 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.
