Likit Granola Horse Treat - Molasses 550g

Likit Granola Horse Treat – Molasses, 550g

Cane molasses is in every Granola block, but the molasses version leads on it, and it is reliably the one that a fussy or suspicious horse takes to first. The block is glucose syrup and cane molasses holding together kibbled maize, whole wheat, bruised barley and rolled oats, pressed to a density that turns a treat into a job of work.

That density is the point. A soft 650g Likit disappears; a Granola block lasted up to 10 days in Likit's own trials. It fits the Likit Holder and the Boredom Breaker on the standard fitting, so it swaps in wherever a 650g Likit currently sits.

Performance & Benefits

• Strong molasses flavour, usually the easiest of the four to get a suspicious horse started on.
• Rock-hard pressed block — licked and gnawed rather than eaten in one go.
• Kibbled maize, whole wheat, bruised barley and rolled oats through the block.
• Standard Likit fitting, so it works in a Likit Holder or a Boredom Breaker.
• Up to 10 days per block in Likit's trials.
• Easy-release, fully recyclable packaging.

Suitable For

• Horses new to licks that need convincing.
• Box rest, bad weather and long stabled hours.
• Owners already using a Likit Holder or Boredom Breaker.
• Competition trips and overnight stabling away.
• 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 block into a Likit Holder or the top section of a Boredom Breaker. It uses the same fitting as a standard 650g Likit.
• It does not fit the Tongue Twister or the Boredom Buster, which take 250g Little Likits.
• Hang the holder freely, away from the stable walls, so the horse cannot pin the block and bite at it.
• Likit's trials showed a block lasting up to 10 days, though a determined, food-motivated horse will get through it faster.
• Likit publish no daily feeding limit for the Granola refill. Fed alongside forage, with clean water always available.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition, as declared by Likit: glucose syrup, mixed grains (kibbled maize, whole wheat, bruised barley, rolled oats), sucrose, cane molasses, salt, flavouring.
• Analytical constituents, Likit's own: sugar as sucrose 17.6%, starch 14.3%, crude fibre 1.5%, moisture 13.5%.
• Likit publish no protein, oil or ash figure for the Granola refill, so none is stated here.
• Likit's website does not state a pack weight for the Granola refill; this pack is 550g.

Care & Caution

• At 17.6% sugar and 14.3% starch this is a high-sugar, high-starch treat. Keep it away from laminitic, insulin-resistant and Cushing's horses.
• The block is deliberately rock hard. It is not suitable for a horse with poor teeth or a sore mouth.
• Hang it clear of walls and fixtures. A block pinned against a wall gets bitten rather than licked, which defeats the design and wastes it.
• A complementary treat, not a feed. It does not replace any part of the ration.
