What it is
Hydro-Lyte™ with GastroCell™ is a rider-friendly way to support fluid intake around sweat, travel, and recovery—paired with a gut-smart formula you can work into daily barn flow.
Rider-first promise: clear steps, zero diva routine, label-true.
When to use
- Heat & humidity: Before/after work to replace sweat losses.
- Travel days: Offer at load-up, layovers, and upon arrival.
- Show week: Pre-class primer and post-class reset.
- Recovery: After hard efforts or long hauls.
Always provide plain water alongside any flavored/electrolyte water.
Mixing methods
Bucket blend (flavored water)
Per the label, mix the measured serving into a small bucket of fresh water. Offer before/after work. Dump leftovers after sessions.
Top-dress (feed)
Measure the serving and top-dress on grain or soaked forage pellets. Stir to coat for even intake.
Split dose (AM/PM)
For picky drinkers, split the daily label serving between morning and evening feeds.
Step-by-Step
1) Check the label
Confirm serving for your horse’s bodyweight, workload, and conditions.
2) Introduce gradually
Start with a partial serving for 2–3 days; increase to full per label as acceptance builds.
3) Mix your way
Bucket blend or top-dress—whichever your horse prefers. Keep a separate bucket of plain water at all times.
4) Time it right
Offer before hauling or training; refresh post-work and at layovers. Dump flavored water once the session ends.
5) Monitor & adjust
Watch actual drinking/feeding, manure/urine, and sweat rate. Adjust within label ranges as heat and workload change.
6) Store smart
Seal the lid; keep cool/dry. Don’t save mixed solution for later.
Simple schedules
- Training day: Half serving pre-ride, half serving post-ride (label total met).
- Hauling: Offer per label 30–60 min pre-load, at layovers, and on arrival.
- Show week: Daily label serving; add a post-class portion within label guidance during heavy classes/heat.
Every horse writes their own playbook—track what drives the best intake.
Pro tips
- Salt matters: Keep free-choice plain salt available; it works with electrolytes, not against them.
- Small buckets win: Use smaller volumes so flavored water stays fresh and inviting.
- Keep it clean: Scrub buckets; stale smells kill intake.
- Picky pro move: Start with top-dress for acceptance, then add the bucket blend on hot/haul days.
Quick FAQs
Water or feed—what’s better?
Whichever your horse accepts reliably. Many start top-dressing, then add a flavored bucket on hard or hot days.
Can I free-choice this?
No. Follow the serving guidance on the label and always provide a separate bucket of plain water.
Electrolytes with other supplements?
Space feedings when possible and follow label directions. If your horse has a condition or is on meds, consult your veterinarian.
How soon before hauling?
Offer per label 30–60 minutes prior to loading, again at layovers, and on arrival. Dump any leftover flavored water after each stop.
