This is a great electrolyte
While my horse didn't appreciate the powder form, and I had to mix it with some other stuff for her to eat it, it actually is a really good product. I noticed that switching to a different popular electrolyte her stools were drier. So I switched back to Smartlytes pellets this time. After being back on smartlytes for three days her stools are back to normal. Seriously a great product here.

I really wanted this to work!
I bought this month and my horse, who I thought would eat anything, would not eat any of his SmartPaks if this was mixed in. Not even if dinner was mixed with applesauce! It's the first thing he's ever refused.

Horse dislikes berry taste.
My mare would not eat this. Apparently she does not like the berry taste. She does however like Farnam's Apple Elite and licks her feeder dry.

Amazing Customer Service
I bought this supplement for my horse who doesnt drink much water and has a hard time with the heat and the improvement i saw was breath taking. I will most definitely buy from SmartPak again!!

My horse loves it more than me!
I bought this before going to a show in MS (10 hours from home) with my mare who is a bit funny about water. I started her on it the week before we left and she loved it! She's also picky about what's in her grain and she didn't hesitate to rate with the supplement in it. Because it was so hot in MS I look up recipes for electrolyte popsicles for horses and made one using these electrolytes and she ate every bit of it! Overall really happy with the results of this supplements.

Works, but not picky eater approved
I started this to my horse's supplement regimen, like I do every summer, though typically I would give her SmartLytes Pellets, since she's so picky. Last summer, she left more than half the pellets every meal, which was a complete waste of money. I ordered a does and a half of the powder this year hoping she'd eat it, like she does her vitamin E so easily, and she's still leaving it. Thank goodness she's not leaving enough that it's not working (especially since I give her a does and a half). It's still wasteful, which is frustrating, but I know she's getting enough, because she drinks 2 full buckets in her stall everyday, and has been drinking really well at horse shows this summer too! Good product, but needs to work on flavor more I guess, since mine picks through the pellets and the powder, but none of her other supplements!

Good product- smells if you wet food
We wet my mares food and the smart lyte gave off a funky odor when wet which discouraged my mare from eating. I'm sure it works much better for those that don't need wet food and aren't picky eaters!

Awesome product for any level horse!
I have been using Smartlytes powder for over a year and it not only helps my pasture puffs during the hot summer months, but also my endurance horse who truly NEEDS it to stay hydrated during conpetition! CB Firestorm uses his Smartlytes to conquer 50 mile rides and never skips a beat. We add it into his daily grain and also syringe it during races during a time crunch. Being a half "stock" endurance horse (Appy) isn't easy, but Smartyles makes it pretty darn easy to keep up and complete our rides with ease!

Tastes just like salt :)
Glad I am able to put this right in my geldings grain he needs to drink more water now during these cold winter months. Don't think he minds the salty flavor at all in fact I'm a little jealous

My horse won't eat it!
My horse does not like the powder and will not eat it. I have had to go to the pellets, which cost more, of course, but he is eating it now. He is a horse that does not like to lick a salt block. He has had a lot more energy now in the summer months and is sweating better also.

Great choice
I add electrolytes into my mare's feed when we travel for shows, mostly just as precautionary, to make sure she keeps drinking. She doesn't miss a beat cleaning her pan when these are added. They must be super palatable. I'm sorry that they are no longer available in a smaller size container. That one was perfect.

Loving this elyte!
I need my horses to drink and drink well. They are worked regularly and then 25-30 mile distance rides 1-2 times a month as endurance horses in training. They sweat heavily and it's necessary to replenish those minerals/salt lost. I have tried three products already and this one has been the best thus far. I have found that it sticks better when I wet their feed (they get hay pellets and a little dry pelleted feed and it will sift to the bottom of their dish if I don't wet it down). My gelding drinks so well, peeing regularly (most of it being about as clear as water-no joke). My mare actually needs a bit more than the regular dose to get her drinking and going well. I also premix doses in those fruit sauce pouches to draw up into syringes at the vet holds during competition. They both are doing great on it.

Smells So Tasty I'd Eat It!
I bought this for my eq/jumper gelding on a whim after using Apple-a-Day for years (nothing against them, just wanted to try something new). My horse is a big time sweater and is in heavy work, so he needs a good electrolyte that he'll eat instead of leaving in the bottom of his feeder. He seems to really like the cherry flavor - it smells delicious! He's not a picky eater, but he does tend to pick around some supplements and eat them last... Not this one ;)

Doing its job but my guy isn't crazy for it
I live where it's extremely hot an humid so wanted to add an electrolyte to my smart pak so I didn't have to keep buying from the feed store and running out.
I'm sure it is doing its job but my guy isn't crazy about it and has been leaving it It smells good tho

Neither horse will eat it.
Last summer, my gelding ate this in his grain without a problem. This summer, he isn't finishing the grain that touches it and my mare won't eat her grain at all if she knows this is in there. I am going to try the pellets! If your horse will eat it, it's a great value and helps encourage drinking in the summer months.

Love, Love, Love this supplement!!
This supplement is the best electrolyte on the market. My horse is not usually a picky eater but when it came to electrolyte he would not touch a single one except this one! I feed this all year round. As a lower level eventer my horse sweats A LOT in the summer. At events he would never drink water and it always made me nervous. After being on this supplement he drinks water at shows and at home. In the winter the supplement encourages my horse to drink a lot more water than before. I absolutely love this product and it has made a huge difference in my horse!

Love it!!!
Started both of my mares on this product a month ago, and they have done wonderfully. Both of my mares are picky about drinking water and will consistently be drawn during the winter and through the first months of the summer, since beginning Smartlytes they are not drawn drink like try should!

I tried this since I love all smartpak products but was unsure if my one picky eater would eat it - he does! No worries of staying hydrated in Florida this year:)

I didn't know if my horse would eat this since it is just a powder, but he LOVES it. I don't even feed any extra grain with it. It smells so good that I want to try it. :)

Great Product
I tried this product after I realized that most of the powder electrolytes I was giving my horse were staying in the bottom of the feeder instead of her ingesting it. I switched to the Smartlytes in the pellet form and love them. She eats them better and I have seen little to none left in the feeder.

My horse loves them!!!
My horse has been on SmartLytes for about two months now. I started him on them because he wasn't drinking much at all when the temperatures got cold. He coliced extremely bad last year leading to colic surgery, so I want to prevent a repeat incident from ever happening again! He absolutely LOVES these! He eats them right away (I'm pretty sure he just thinks its just seasoning for his grain haha). Super happy as usual with another SmartPak purchase!

Convenient +
I purchased this for my older horse. I wasn't sure he was getting what he needed. I was impressed with the questions that helped to identify what he needed. It is great to know that he is getting what he needs to be healthy and he is so happy. The Smartpak convenience is wonderful. Drummer is a very happy boy.
