UltraElectroS - electrolytes for horses

Struggling to get your horse to eat electrolytes or worried about the impact on their gut? UltraElectroS are not JUST another electrolyte…

Unlike many traditional electrolytes, UltraElectros are extremely palatable and naturally sweet thanks to the inclusion of real banana - not artificial flavouring. Our balanced formula aids cellular hydration and is gut friendly with added prebiotic fibres and B vitamins to support digestive health, recovery time and overall well-being.

When your horse sweats, they don’t just lose water. They lose vital electrolytes that are essential for hydration, muscle function and optimal recovery. Electrolytes are't lost just during hard work, travel, stress, warm weather and daily activity all influence hydration levels & mineral balance. Horses need at least 10g of sodium per day for maintenance (20-50g/day in hard work) and their normal diets do not provide these levels, even if they have access to a salt lick. Mineral imbalance can impact muscle function, recovery times and overall consistency.

How it works:

Equell Ultra ElectroS™ provides a palatable, carefully balanced blend of sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium and magnesium to help maintain cellular hydration, normal fluid balance and support optimal muscle function during exercise, warm weather, travel or any period of increased sweating.

Formulated to encourage drinking and support efficient rehydration, Ultra ElectroS also includes added functional nutrients to aid post-exercise recovery. Ideal for competition horses, regular training programmes and horses travelling overseas to warmer climates - or to encourage drinking in any horse or pony throughout winter, when intake normally falls and the risk of impaction increases.

Feed daily for optimum results, as electrolyte levels can become depleted during weeks of hard training and this can take a long time to restore to normal levels if you only feed electrolytes after competition. Mix with feed, splitting daily rate between AM and PM feeds for best results.

FAQ's:

Do horses need electrolytes after exercise?

Horses that sweat during training or competition lose electrolytes through sweat. A horse in moderate work can lose 50–70 g of electrolytes per hour through sweat - largely sodium and chloride – which is why replacing these salts is important for hydration, recovery and normal muscle function.

How do electrolytes help horses?

Electrolytes help maintain fluid balance, support hydration and replace salts lost during sweating. These key minerals are essential for normal muscle function and UltraElectroS has added prebiotic fibres and B vitamins for gut health and recovery.

When should I give my horse electrolytes?

Electrolytes are commonly fed during periods of increased sweating, including hot weather, travel and competition but for optimal results they should be fed in the run up to periods of increased exercise or sweating to help avoid mineral depletion.

Should I feed electrolytes in winter?

Yes! Horses need additional sodium all year round as most equine diets are deficient in sodium. Feeding an electrolyte like UltraElectroS encourages your horse's thirst response and can help to increase water intake. This is really important throughout periods of increased stabling/hay or haylage intake and reduced turnout as this combination of factors can increase the risk of impaction colic. Ensuring adequate water intake for your horse will help to keep their digestive system moving as normal.

Can I feed electrolytes to horses with ulcers?

The question “are electrolytes bad for horses with ulcers” or can electrolytes cause ulcers in horses stems from a study on endurance horses where almost half a kilogram of electrolytes were given orally, in water over an 8 hour period. This is very different to the supplementation of normal levels of electrolytes within horse’s feed, ideally split between their daily rations which is unlikely to cause issue for a healthy horse. If your horse is undergoing current treatment for ulcers or you are unsure – always check with your vet before feeding.
