"My horse is generally a good drinker, in the field. We can be at a show all day and he'll hardly drink, even when I bring our own water; he'll wait until we get home to drink from the trough. He doesn't drink from his stall buckets either. He loves his salt lick so he's not deficient, was just hoping this would persuade him to drink elsewhere. No such luck. Though it does smell wonderful and he licks the bowl clean."

"I trust all of the smartpak supplement brands, and I have had much success with them! However, my Not-so-picky guy refuses to eat this stuff. It smells great, but he really does eat anything and everything just not this! :( With summer around the corner along with the Texas heat, I'll just have to try an alternative. I'm disappointed but i will continue to us SmartPak's SmartFlex Rehab, SmartTendon, and SmartDigest."

"I bought this in the tub so that I could use it when my horse is worked hard and not have to feed it every day. He definitely drinks a lot more water, that's for sure. So, I would say it is a good investment to make sure my guy is well hydrated and has all his electrolytes. It smells tasty and my horse likes it, but he's not particularly picky."

"My 3-Day horse refused to eat his bucket when I added electrolyte powder I bought from my local feed store. I tried two different products and no luck. I switched to this product after a recommendation from a friend - success! My gelding licked his bucket clean. Now I can relax and know he is getting what he needs to do his job on the XC course! Thanks Smartpak!"

"My boy picked at his food the first few days I tried this and then started turning his nose up completely. I'm sure it's a great product, just can't get my boy to eat it even after trying all the tricks."
"I purchased these since we moved from a boarding facility that added electrolytes in their food, to a place that didn't have any added electrolytes in their food or water. I was really excited about the value, and I thought the pellets would be easy-peasy since my horse eats pretty much everything. The first day he ate them no problem, mixed with a little bit of feed. That was the last time I could get him to eat them. I've tried mixing with food, hand feeding, moistening them, and adding jello mix as flavouring, but he does not care for them. I can sometimes get him to eat a little bit if I bury them in enough food, but I don't want to feed him that much extra since he gets 2 feeds other than the supplements."

"I usually get the SmartLyte pellets, but goofed on the internet order and got the powder instead. My horse does not like the taste of the powder, even if I doctor it up with Karo syrup, chopped apples, and carrots. I'm sure it's a good product, but he won't eat it."
"I feed electrolytes all year. Decided to try these to reduce sugar intake & add to his smartpack. He's eating them well, and is a very picky eater. Summer will really tell me more but so far I'm really happy."

"Sudden dips in temperature in my area in winter resulted in my horse not drinking enough. SmartLytes did the trick! Might be a tiny bit more expensive than buying in bulk, but in a boarding barn the convenience is worth it, not to mention that I know my horse got his supplements! (Well, unless the barn help is burying unused supplements in a hole out back, and that sure seems like more work than just giving them to the horses!)"

"Even though I feed salt to my horses, I still also like to add an electrolyte. This one is great for my horses who are not finicky. My picky old man eats the pellets instead. It makes me smile in the mornings because the powder smells like lemonade when I mix it into their beet pulp and feed. This product offers quality ingredients at a low price. You cannot beat that!!!"

"My horse enjoys the taste of the powder more than the pellet form. He wouldn't touch it and the pellets did smell a little funny. Thankfully, he eats the powder right up and I don't have to worry about him getting enough water this winter."

"I started giving this to my event mare to help make sure that she had the appropriate electrolytes to sweat correctly. I figured that as with most powered electrolytes there would be some dust left behind in the bottom of her bucket, but not so with this one. She must love the flavor because the bottom of her bucket looks like it's been scrubbed after every feeding."
