Feeding Horses podcast

Welcome to Feeding Horses, sponsored by Tribute. Electrolytes are one of those topics horse owners hear about constantly—especially during the summer, but there’s still a lot of confusion around what they actually do, when horses truly need supplementation, and how to use electrolyte products effectively and safely. To help us understand all of that, host Stephanie Ruff talks with Michael Lindinger, PhD, a professor at the University of Guelph, in Ontario, Canada, and president of Nutraceutical Alliance. They discuss the science of electrolyte balance in horses, what happens when horses sweat, and the practical steps owners can take to support hydration and recovery. Take a listen!
