Likit Refill Molasses 250g Horse Lick Treat Flavoured Block

Little Likit – Molasses, 250g

Molasses is the flavour that gets a difficult horse started. It is the sweetest and most obviously feed-like of the range, and a horse that has looked blankly at a mint or carrot block will usually get straight on with this one. This is the 250g Little Likit, the size the Tongue Twister and Boredom Buster are built around.

The block is Likit's standard glucose and dextrose formulation with molasses flavouring. Likit cap intake at one Little Likit per horse per day, which is precisely one block.

Performance & Benefits

• Molasses flavour, the sweetest and most persuasive of the range.
• 250g size for the Tongue Twister, Boredom Buster and the Boredom Breaker ball.
• The one to use on a horse that has refused every other flavour.
• A single block is exactly one day's allowance under Likit's limit.
• Two in a Tongue Twister for an easier introduction, one for a harder one.
• Small enough to keep a spare in the lorry.

Suitable For

• Horses that have to be talked into using a lick toy.
• Tongue Twister and Boredom Buster owners.
• Ponies and smaller horses.
• Not right for a Likit Holder — that takes the 650g Likit refill only.
• 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

• Fits the Tongue Twister and the Boredom Buster — one or two at a time in each — and the ball section of the Boredom Breaker.
• It does not fit the Likit Holder. That holder takes the 650g Likit refill only, so buy the 650g size if the Likit Holder is what you own.
• Likit cap intake at one Little Likit per horse per day.
• Hang the toy freely at wither height, away from walls, so the horse has to work at it rather than trap it.
• A complementary treat, fed alongside normal forage. 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 Little Likit range: no protein, oil, fibre, ash, sugar or starch percentage is given, so none is stated here.
• Analysis figures quoted on some retail listings are not Likit's own and are not repeated here.
• Net weight 250g.

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 one Little Likit 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.
