Lickit Little Mint Flavour 250g Pony Horse Treat – Boredom Breaker Stable Lick

Little Likit – Mint, 250g

Mint in the 250g size is the calm option. Where cherry and molasses can wind a greedy horse up, mint tends to produce steady, unhurried licking, and in a Tongue Twister or Boredom Buster that is exactly what you want — a horse working patiently at a spinning ball rather than attacking it.

It is the same glucose and dextrose formulation as the large Likit, in a 250g block. Likit's own limit is one Little Likit per horse per day, so one block is a day.

Performance & Benefits

• Mint flavour, milder in scent than the fruit blocks.
• 250g size for the Tongue Twister, Boredom Buster and the Boredom Breaker ball.
• Encourages steady licking rather than snatching at the toy.
• One block is a full day's allowance under Likit's guidance.
• Two together in a Tongue Twister make the puzzle easier for a beginner.
• Same formulation as the 650g Likit, in a smaller block.

Suitable For

• Horses that get worked up over sweeter, stronger licks.
• Tongue Twister and Boredom Buster owners.
• Ponies and smaller horses on limited treats.
• Not right if your toy is a Likit Holder — that takes the 650g 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.
