Likit Refill Cherry 650g Horse Lick Treat Block Flavoured Equine Snack

Likit Refill – Cherry, 650g

Cherry sits in Likit's standing seven alongside apple, banana, carrot, garlic, mint and molasses, and it is one of the sweeter, more strongly scented options. Horses that ignore a mint lick will often go straight at a cherry one, which is worth knowing if you have a block sitting untouched in the stable.

This is the full-size 650g refill. It seats in a Likit Holder or in the top of a Boredom Breaker; it will not fit a Tongue Twister or a Boredom Buster, both of which are built around the smaller 250g Little Likit.

Performance & Benefits

• Strong cherry scent and flavour, which often works where mint has failed.
• Full 650g block on the standard Likit fitting.
• Fits the Likit Holder and the Boredom Breaker.
• Sustained licking keeps a stabled horse occupied for long stretches.
• A straightforward answer to boredom-driven stable habits.
• One of Likit's seven core flavours, so it is reliably available.

Suitable For

• Stabled horses and ponies, including those on box rest.
• Horses that have refused a milder flavour such as mint.
• Owners of a Likit Holder or Boredom Breaker.
• Competition trips and unfamiliar stabling.
• Not one for a laminitic, insulin-resistant or Cushing's horse — the Rockies Baby Pure Salt Lick is the sugar-free lick we stock for stable enrichment.

Feeding

• Press the lick into a Likit Holder, or into the top section of a Boredom Breaker, before offering it. It is not a hand-fed treat.
• The 650g Likit does not fit the Tongue Twister or the Boredom Buster — both of those take 250g Little Likits.
• Likit cap intake at half a Likit, about 300g, per horse per day. A 650g lick is therefore roughly two days' allowance.
• Hang the holder freely at about wither height and clear of the walls, so the horse licks rather than pins and bites it.
• A complementary treat, fed alongside normal forage and hard feed. Clean fresh water at all times.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition, as declared by Likit: glucose, dextrose monohydrate, natural colours, natural and artificial flavourings, and potassium sorbate as a preservative.
• Likit describe the lick as glucose based — in their words, a simple form of sugar much like that found in grass.
• Likit publish no analytical constituents for the flavoured Likit range: no protein, oil, fibre, ash, sugar or starch percentage is given, so none is stated here.
• Figures such as 0.4% ash and 20% moisture appear on some retail listings. Likit publish none, so we do not repeat them.
• Net weight 650g.

Care & Caution

• This is a sugar lick. It is not suitable for laminitic, insulin-resistant or Cushing's (PPID) horses, or any horse on a restricted-sugar diet.
• Likit publish no sugar percentage for the flavoured range, so the sugar load cannot be quantified. Treat it as a sweet treat, not as a neutral boredom aid.
• Stay within Likit's own limit of half a Likit, 300g, a day. Good-doers and native ponies put on weight on licks quickly.
• Check the holder or toy and its rope each time you refill, and take it down if your horse bites lumps off the lick rather than licking it.
