💧Anhidrosis: When Your Horse Can't Sweat

Anhidrosis is a serious and often frightening condition where a horse loses its ability to sweat. In the Australian heat, this can quickly become a life-threatening emergency. A horse's primary way to cool down is through sweating; without it, their internal body temperature can skyrocket.

If you notice your horse has a dry coat even after exercise, labored breathing, or a high body temperature that won't come down, it's time to act. Management is crucial—ride in cooler parts of the day, use fans and misters, and provide ample shade. Electrolyte support is essential, even without visible sweating, to maintain hydration and nerve function.

🧐Don't wait for the heat of summer. If you suspect your horse isn't sweating correctly, start a management plan now. Proactive care with balanced electrolyte supplementation can help support their overall health and hydration.

🐴 **Why Your Horse Needs 24/7 Forage Access**

It's not just about keeping them full, it's about preventing ulcers, colic, and stress-related vices.

Horses produce stomach acid constantly. Without forage to chew, that acid has nothing to buffer it. The result? Painful gastric ulcers and digestive upset.

Good health starts in the gut.

❌ Myth: My horse only needs electrolytes after a hard ride.

✅ Fact: In the Australian heat, daily hydration support is crucial, not just for performance horses, but for every horse.

Many horse owners think of electrolytes as something you only give after intense exercise, but the reality is that horses can lose a significant amount of essential minerals simply through sweating in the paddock on a hot day.

This daily loss can lead to dehydration, fatigue, and reduced performance, even in seemingly healthy horses. Waiting until after a ride is often too late.

Our Formula Blue is designed for Australian conditions, providing a blend of electrolytes to support hydration, nerve function, and muscle health every single day. It's not just a performance boost; it's a daily wellness essential.

Ever wonder what makes Formula Blue so effective for Australian horses?

Here’s a look inside:

💧 Sodium & Chloride: The two most important electrolytes for fluid balance and nerve function. Support proper hydration at the cellular level.

💪 Potassium: Essential for muscle function and preventing fatigue. A horse in work or hot weather needs more than what pasture can provide.

🔬 Trace Minerals (Zinc & Copper): Often deficient in Australian pastures, these are vital for immune function, coat health, and antioxidant support.

Formula Blue support your horses in replenishing electrolytes. It's about putting back exactly what your horse loses, so they can feel and perform their best.
