You’ve probably seen them sprinkled into horses’ water or grain buckets — sachets of powdered electrolytes that often smell like sweet apples. As essential minerals responsible for regulating vital body functions, electrolytes are indispensable to the horse. They are lost primarily in sweat and replenished through the diet.
