Summer Games Plus is unique. It contains a blend of ingredients that buffer excess gastric acid, coat the sensitive lining of the stomach, and replenish the electrolytes and trace minerals depleted when horses sweat. This dual-action formula helps to maintain healthy electrolyte levels and support normal stomach pH so horses perform better, recover faster, and remain healthier. Summer Games Plus electrolyte paste’s research-proven electrolyte formulation was originally developed for the horses competing at the 1996 Olympic Games. Summer Games Plus mimics the composition of equine sweat, supplying the horse with the same amounts and ratios of electrolytes and minerals depleted during sweating. Summer Games Plus also contains buffering and coating agents that help maintain a healthy gastric environment, reducing the incidence of stomach irritation and ulceration.

  • Available in a handy single-dose tube
  • Supports excess gastric acid, supporting healthy stomach pH and coats sensitive gastric membranes
  • Keeps horses drinking and hydrated
  • Supports optimal performance and short recovery periods after exercise by replenishing electrolytes

60 cc paste.

  • Calcium (min.) 0.4%, 0.2 g (200 mg)
  • Calcium (max.) 0.8%, 0.5 g (500 mg)
  • Phosphorus (min.) 0.4%, 0.2 g (200 mg)

  • Potassium (min.) 9.0%, 5 g (5,000 mg)

Summer Games Plus electrolyte paste provides buffering and coating agents that help to maintain normal gastric (stomach) pH by neutralizing excess gastric secretions. It supports gastric comfort by coating the sensitive tissues in the stomach.

Summer Games Plus paste contains minimal sugar. It is a concentrated source of the electrolytes and trace minerals commonly lost in equine sweat.

Serving instructions

60cc tube = 1 oz of Summer Games Electrolyte

Summer Games Plus can be used as a daily supplement. Because of its concentrated formula, it is easy to adjust the level of supplementation to meet your horse’s individual needs. The amount of supplementation will depend on the level of work and the intensity of the heat and humidity the horse is working in.

Level of work Normal Environment (oz/day) Hot, Humid Environment (oz/day)
Rest 0 1
Light Work 1 1-2
Moderate Work 2 2-3
Heavy Work 3 3-4

Administer no more than 2 tubes in a single offering.

Below are guidelines that will help you to estimate the level of exercise your horse is doing. Always take temperature and humidity levels into consideration when supplementing with an electrolyte. Horses will sweat more in hot, humid climates. When it is very dry or cold, sweat may evaporate quickly and be less noticeable.

Guidelines for determining workload level

Light Work:

  • Visible Sweat (up to 5 liters sweat loss)
  • For example: dressage, western and English pleasure, trail horses, equitation, etc.

Moderate Work:

  • Dripping Sweat (5-10 liters sweat loss)
  • For example: jumping horses, racehorses, barrel racing, cutting, roping, etc.

Heavy Work:

  • Dripping Sweat for Extended Periods (more than 10 liters sweat loss)
  • For example: upper level three-day event, western performance horses, polo ponies

Options for determining sweat loss

Electrolyte requirements can be determined by measuring sweat loss. Fluid loss can be estimated by measuring body weight loss with this simple formula: 1 kg (2.2 lb) body weight loss = 0.9 liters (approx. 1 quart) body water loss, so an 11-lb body weight loss = approximately 5 liters sweat loss (light work) = 2 oz per day of Summer Games Plus.

Weighing your horse before and after a work session can also give you some idea of how much weight or fluid loss has occurred.

Storage and shelf life:

Store Summer Games Plus in a cool, dry place. Protect from freezing and extreme heat. Shelf life is 24 months from date of manufacture when stored under suitable conditions.
