When horses exercise, they regulate their body temperature by sweating. Signs of sweating are obvious with hard work, or during high temperatures, but typically any work will result in some sweat losses. Sweating not only loses fluid as it evaporates, but also essential body salts, particularly sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Failure to replace these body salts (known as electrolytes) can result in fatigue, and in extreme cases, damage to muscle, bone and cartilage tissue. Electro Salts is a concentrated combination of the essential plasma salts in combination with dextrose to aid efficient absorption of the salts. Electro Salts should be fed following exercise, after heavy sweating, when travelling and during periods of hot weather. Electro Salts should be added to a well soaked feed, or fed in water. Always ensure a supply of clean fresh water is readily available.

"I am currently using NAF Electro Salts, as the most common loss of performance and tiredness is down to lack of salts. I also use NAF Off Extra Effect, as it is the most effective protection against flies, horse flies and insect menace.”
"I love NAF products. At the moment I am using your Cooling Wash, Warming Wash, Electro Salts, GastriAid, Tack Cleaner and Hoof Moist! NAF Cleanse and Condition and Soft Soap is keeping my tack looking it’s very best!"
"NAF Electrosalts keep Birchcol Rock Idol fit, healthy and in peak performance throughout the season - they are an essential part of our kit whenever we go eventing."
Emma Baskeyfield & Joey "We bought Joey in April as a 5 year old and he has been very busy over the summer with Pony Club events! We still have lots of work to do and to help get Joey in shape, we had been using NAF Electro Salts and the General Purpose Supplement. My favourite NAF product is the Instant Magic Calmer as it is the only one that works!"
Samantha Fussell & Ollie I absolutely love the NAF Electro Salts as they give my horses a nice boost when we are away at three day shows!
Here is my boy 9 year old KWPN gelding "Beant lan" in training and competition ready for Somerford Premier League next week. He's fed on Electro Salts when away competing to keep him on top form and healthy. I rely on these the keep him at his best, and they always work! Kirstie Clarke
We feed Ester Electro Salts throughout the year. She can sometimes be a fussy eater, we have tried products diluted in water but she didn't approve, Electro Salts definitely pass the test! We have qualified for the Badminton Grassroots Final, and as eventers we are out travelling around the country quite a lot. During Ester's travels in the lorry, she works up quite a heavy sweat, so we swear by Electro Salts to make sure she has all the requirements to compete as a happy and healthy pony! Megan Alecock
