Potassium Chloride by Gateway Products is an electrolyte that your horse needs supplemented during heavy training.
Electrolytes are minerals that occur in your horse’s body in a charged form and are essential to the functioning of many physiological systems. In training and heavy competition it is important to maintain or replenish five particular minerals essential to neuro-muscular function that are lost in sweat: Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Calcium and Magnesium.

At these times Potassium is usually delivered in the form of Potassium Chloride.
