Horslyx Minis Horse Lick Garlic, Vitamins & Minerals for Horses & Ponies 650 g

Horslyx Garlic Mini Lick – 650g

One 650g tub of Garlic Balancer, the fly-season lick in the Horslyx range, sized for about three days with a single horse. It is the tub to buy before committing to a case of twelve or a 5kg stable tub.

Garlic is the odd one out nutritionally as well as by smell: sugar sits at 30% rather than the 33% of the rest of the range, ash is 25% and sodium 3.5%, both higher than the Original. Pure garlic oil closes the declared composition, and Horslyx include it as a natural way to help deter biting insects.

Performance & Benefits

• Pure garlic oil in the declared composition, for help against midges and flies.
• Sugar at 30%, the lowest of any Horslyx Balancer.
• Sodium at 3.5% and ash at 25%, both above the Original lick.
• Vitamin A 25,000iu, D3 5,000iu, E 1,200mg, B12 220mcg and biotin 12mg per kg.
• Chelated copper and zinc as well as the sulphate forms.
• 650g hand-held tub, about three days for one horse.

Suitable For

• Summer turnout and horses bothered by biting insects.
• Rewards, distractions and stretching work in any season.
• Trying Garlic before buying the 12-pack or a 5kg tub.
• Owners looking for the lowest-sugar lick Horslyx make.
• One mini will not see out a fly season — Horslyx Garlic Balancer 5kg or the 15kg field lick are the sizes for that.
