I can provide a search-optimized answer about electrolytes and their function. However, the search results do not contain information about the benefits of electrolytes for performance in horses. Therefore, I will provide a general explanation of electrolytes.
Electrolytes are substances that conduct electric current by dissociating into ions (charged particles) when dissolved in solvents like water or alcohol. These ions move toward and are discharged at the cathode (negative terminal) and anode (positive terminal) of an electrical circuit. Common examples of electrolytes include acids, bases, and salts. Some electrolytes, like sodium chloride, can conduct electricity when melted, and others, such as silver iodide, are electrolytes in a solid state.
