Horse Licks & Treats

The importance of salt

Horses are unable to ingest enough salt and minerals from roughage and concentrated feed alone. It is important to supplement your horse’s diet and licks provide an excellent solution. Salt facilitates the movement of nerve impulses through the body. It also helps to transport nutrients across the cell membranes including glucose and amino acids. A crucial electrolyte, salt plays an important role in regulating the acid balance within cells as well as maintaining hydration.

Horses require 25-50 grams of salt per day to meet their requirement for sodium chloride. Most horses are good at regulating their levels of salt and so will seek out their licks when they need to but won’t overindulge.

Supplementary nutrition

If you need to provide your horse with beneficial supplements including garlic, you can do that with licks and treats too. Whether you are looking to improve mobility, calm your horse or promote healthy hooves, licks will deliver the nutrition your horse needs.
