Rockies Red Salt Lick 10kg

Rockies Red Mineralised Salt Lick - 10kg Block

Rockies Red is the classic red mineralised salt lick, a compressed block of salt with added trace elements that horses and ponies help themselves to as they need it. Salt is the one mineral a horse will reliably self-regulate, and a lick left in the stable or field lets each animal take what its own workload and sweating demand rather than what a scoop decides.

This is the large 10kg block, the size most people choose for a field or a permanently occupied stable: it lasts considerably longer than a 2kg lick and is heavy enough to sit in a corner of the manger or a holder without being knocked about. Grass and forage are typically low in sodium, so free access to salt is a sensible year-round baseline, and it matters most through hot weather and hard work.

Performance & Benefits

• Free-access salt allows horses to replace sodium and chloride lost in sweat
• Encourages drinking, which supports normal water intake and gut function
• Provides trace elements alongside the salt, not salt alone
• Compressed block form means the horse licks rather than gorges, so intake is gradual
• 10kg size lasts well in field or stable use and reduces how often it needs replacing

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies at grass or stabled, all year round
• Working and competition horses that sweat regularly
• Fields or yards where several horses share one lick
• Anyone wanting a simple free-access salt source rather than a fed supplement

How to Use

• Offer free access: place the block in a lick holder, a clean manger, or a dry corner of the stable or field shelter
• Site it under cover or out of standing water where possible - rain will dissolve an exposed block
• Keep clean fresh water available at all times alongside the lick
• Allow horses new to a lick a few days to settle into a steady rate of use
• Replace the block once it is used down to a small remnant
