Electrolytes are also important in cooler temperatures. Electro-Blend will improve water consumption which is important.

Electro-Blend is sugar and filler free. Only the highest quality source materials are used in the manufacturing of Electro-Blend. We recommend feeding Electro-Blend in with your horses daily feed ration. Horses like it and will consume Electro-Blend immediately. If your electrolyte is used in the water bucket, not all gets dissolved. When the water is changed, out goes a portion of your electrolyte. You are throwing money โ€œdown the drainโ€!
Just 20 grams of McIntosh Pro Line Electro-Blend fed daily will help hydrate your horse properly.
Available sizes:
2 lb (900g), 5 lb (2.27kg ) 10 lb (4.5kg) 20lbs
** 2 lbs will last one horse 45 days.
For immediate re-hydration use Electro-Blend Paste
