Himalayan Pink Salt Licks for Horses
When you have a hydrated horse or pony, then you have a healthy animal. Using a salt lick is one way to provide the essential minerals, sodium, and electrolytes that are necessary to maintain their work levels.
The only problem is that horses won’t always behave in ways that seem logical to support their health. That’s the foundation of the old saying that goes, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.”
Most horses are pickier than your average toddler in front of a plate of vegetables. If the salt block put out doesn’t taste good, then it won’t be licked at all. These animals won’t even touch it if they require the minerals or electrolytes in their diet. That’s why a natural mineral rock, such as Himalayan pink salt, is a better solution to meet this need.
Why Are Natural Minerals Better for Horses?
Many horses refuse to lick the industrialized blocks that are offered for sale because they don’t provide the natural benefits that Himalayan pink salt provide. This product is hard enough that the animals cannot bite chunks off of it, but it also still contains the magnesium, potassium, and iron that they require for their health.
You can also place or hang the Himalayan pink salt block for your horses to prevent accidental dirt ingestion.
With regular consumption, movement of amino acids and glucose improve for the horses and ponies, allowing for stable water levels. In return, there are higher energy levels available with greater consistency to support their overall health.
There are always variables with horses and ponies. More than one seems ready and willing to prove us wrong about any of our beliefs. When you provide access to a lick made from Himalayan pink salt, then you will encourage them to support their health more often than not.
