A working horse sweats out more than water. Sodium, chloride and potassium go with it, and a hard day in the heat can leave a horse flat when those minerals run low. Electro Dex delivers sodium, calcium, potassium and trace minerals to help maintain body fluids that are often depleted during periods of stress.
It is cherry-flavored, and it goes into the water bucket or the daily ration. That makes it simple to offer on a hot afternoon or to add to feed before the work starts. It is built for horses under stress from summer heat, training and performance.

Why choose electrolytes over salt alone
Loose salt gives a horse sodium, and sodium is only part of what a sweating horse loses. Potassium, calcium and trace minerals leave with the sweat too, and they matter for muscle function. A horse that works hard in summer heat is better covered by a product that addresses the whole set than by a salt lick alone.
Who it suits: trail riders in the Panhandle heat, show horses and ranch horses, and anyone who works a horse hard in summer and wants a simple electrolyte on the shelf.

How to use it
There are two ways to feed it, both at 2 oz:
- Drinking water: 2 oz per 10 gallons of fresh water.
- Daily ration: 2 oz in place of salt.
When you give it in water, allow no other source of drinking water. The enclosed scoop holds 1 oz.
Good to know
- Start it before the hard work and the hot haul, not after the horse is already flat.
- Electrolytes support the water a horse drinks. They do not replace it, so offer water on the trailer on long hauls too.
- When you feed it in the ration, keep fresh water within easy reach after a hard session.
