Palatable, low-sugar electrolyte supplement designed to support hydration and performance by replacing essential salts lost through sweat.
Apple Lytes has been carefully formulated to help replace essential electrolytes lost through sweating, while encouraging drinking to support effective rehydration and maintain peak performance in all horses and ponies.
Benefits
Why electrolytes matter:
When horses exercise, travel, or are exposed to high temperatures, their body temperature rises, and they cool themselves primarily through sweating. This sweat not only causes fluid loss but also results in the loss of vital body salts—electrolytes.
These include sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, all of which play crucial roles in muscle contraction, nerve function, and maintaining cellular hydration. While potassium is generally abundant in forage-based diets, sodium and chloride are typically lacking and must be supplemented daily, especially for horses in regular work.
During moderate exercise, a horse can lose 5–7 litres of sweat and 50–70g of electrolytes per hour, and even more under intense work or in hot, humid conditions. Without proper replacement, dehydration and electrolyte imbalance can lead to fatigue, reduced performance, and slower recovery.
Apple Lytes helps replenish these losses effectively and at the correct concentrations, stimulating thirst and restoring fluid balance, which is essential not just for elite competitors, but for all horses and ponies who sweat after work or travel.
Make Apple Lytes part of your horse’s routine to support recovery, hydration, and performance—whatever the discipline, whatever the weather.
