Baileys Aqua-Aide Electrolyte Supplement for Horses
Description
Baileys Aqua-Aide Electrolyte Supplement for Horses
Baileys Aqua-Aide is a palatable equine electrolyte supplement that helps replace the key salts horses lose in sweat, containing potassium chloride and magnesium alongside the usual sodium chloride, plus sufficient dextrose for optimum absorption. It is designed for any horse or pony that sweats through work, travel or hot weather, and can be given in water or in wet feed.
Best for riders who want one flexible electrolyte they can feed ad hoc after a sweaty schooling session, keep going on an ongoing basis through summer, or use before, during and after competition days. Dosing is based on the length and intensity of the work done rather than a single fixed scoop for every horse.
Key Features
- Full salt profile: potassium chloride and magnesium in addition to the commonly included sodium chloride.
- Dextrose for absorption: contains sufficient dextrose to support optimum uptake of the salts.
- Two ways to feed: highly palatable formulation for administering in water or wet feed.
- Workload-based dosing: administered according to the length and intensity of work done.
- Flexible routine: feed ad hoc whenever the horse sweats, on an ongoing basis, or around competition days.
- Suits all types: horses, ponies, cobs and warmbloods in light to hard work.
