I use a commercial electrolite mix, with a varing touch of Vit C.

Yep... I know that.. but while it's still possible, it's nice to have a 
bottle of that stuff around, after that it's Bute or Banamine.

About one second of concern.. and then back to a cross tie she was playing 
with.. :)

Well I cinch her with the syringle.. and I've been working it tighter and 
tighter.. getting almost to the point where it would equal a cinched saddle.
 
 
BTW that saddle is no lightweight.. it's about 45 lbs.. but stil a tad big on 
her.. ;)
