Baileys Aqua Aide

ADVANCED ELECTROLYTE SUPPLEMENT FOR ALL WORKING HORSES

TARGETED AT

  • Any horse who sweats during training or competition
  • Working horses who don't "self-supplement" their diets from salt licks or who find salt added to feed unpalatable
  • Working or performance horses requiring additional support for healthy muscle function
When horses sweat they lose vital water and body salts (electrolytes) and prolonged sweating, whether during exercise, performance or travelling, can result in dehydration, decreased performance, fatigue, muscle cramping and other problems. Maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance is essential for optimum performance and research has shown that administering an electrolyte before, during and after work can delay the onset of fatigue dramatically. 

Aqua-Aide contains key salts, including potassium chloride and magnesium, in addition to the commonly included sodium chloride, plus sufficient dextrose for optimum absorption. It is designed to be administered according to length and intensity of work done and can be fed ad hoc (whenever the horse sweats), on an ongoing basis or before, during and after competition days. Its highly palatable formulation can be administered in water - with or without the addition of a handful of chaff or soaked beet pulp - or wet (sloppy) feed.
 

It is designed to be administered according to length and intensity of work done and can be fed ad hoc (whenever the horse sweats), on an ongoing basis or before, during and after competition days.  Those horses who would benefit especially from regular electrolyte consumption include those who sweat frequently and profusely, those prone to tying up and those working in particularly hot and humid conditions.

Feeding Recommendations

  • Aqua-Aide should ideally be administered in drinking water and for optimum absorption should be mixed at a rate of two measures (30g) per litre of water. 
  • One litre of this solution should be offered for every 20 minutes actual sweating time (whether from exercise, competition, travel or stress) and preferably within one hour of the work/sweating being completed.  This is the optimum time when the body can replace the ions lost through sweating; the body takes longer to replace the ions if electrolyte solution is given later than an hour after sweating has stopped.
  • Some horses may take time to adapt to drinking water containing electrolytes so, when introducing Aqua-Aide for the first time, provide a source of water without the electrolyte to avoid the risk of the horse not drinking.
  • For those horses who will not take Aqua-Aide solution, administer two measures (30g) for every 20 minutes actual sweating time in wet sloppy feed and ensure that ad-lib fresh drinking water is available at all times.
  • Electrolytes given with insufficient fluid could increase the risk of dehydration.
  • Aqua-Aide can be administered no longer than four hours before work to “pre-load” a horse’s system with ions which are ready for the body to replenish salts as they are lost through sweating.
