Directions:

1. Stir well, let dissolve and stir more. Okay to switch things up with a variety of different feeds. See what your horse likes. As they drink it down, you can add more water/salt/electrolytes (keep stirred).
2. In the winter use warm water.
3. Use after a workout, or prior to travel or an event. Be sure to ALSO ALWAYS offer clean plain water as well.
