A buffered electrolyte paste formulated to match the composition of horse sweat. One tube, straight into the mouth, no waiting for a feed to be eaten.
What it's for
When a horse sweats it loses chloride, sodium, potassium and magnesium. Left unreplaced, the result can be dehydration, muscular weakness, overheating, fatigue and a flat performance. Restore Paste replaces those in roughly the proportions they were lost.
Why use it
- Matches the composition of sweat rather than a generic salt mix
- Easy to give — no reliance on the horse finishing its feed
- Stimulates the thirst response and encourages drinking
- Includes a buffering agent, so it's non-irritating and easier on the stomach
Guaranteed analysis per 60g
Sodium 6,900mg · Chloride 14,700mg · Potassium 3,990mg · Calcium 600mg · Magnesium 300mg
Using it
Give one tube (60g) after strenuous work when the horse has been sweating. For endurance training and competition, give during the ride at rest or water stops, and again on completion.
Make sure clean water is available whenever you use it.

FAQ
All your questions, answered.
The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
