Smart Mineral Salt Lick - 2kg

SMART Mineral Salt Lick – 2kg is a durable mineral and salt lick block for horses, providing a convenient source of supplementary minerals and salt.

Manufactured using extreme-pressure pressing, the block is designed to remain firm and resist crumbling or breaking apart during normal use. The combination of salt and supplementary minerals makes it a practical addition to the stable, paddock or yard where horses require access to additional salt as part of their daily feeding programme.

Key Features & Benefits

• 2kg mineral salt lick block.
• Provides supplementary salt and minerals.
• Encourages voluntary salt intake.
• Salt supports normal fluid and electrolyte balance.
• Useful for horses in work.
• Suitable for everyday stable and paddock use.
• Extremely high-pressure pressed construction.
• Designed to resist crumbling and falling apart.
• Convenient free-access format.
• Easy to place in a suitable salt-lick holder.
• Useful during warmer weather and periods of increased sweating.
• Suitable for horses and ponies.

Salt & Hydration Support

Horses lose both water and electrolytes through sweat, with sodium and chloride being particularly important components.

Providing access to salt can help horses meet their sodium and chloride requirements and encourages drinking as part of maintaining normal hydration and electrolyte balance.

A salt lick should always be provided alongside unrestricted access to clean, fresh drinking water.

Supplementary Minerals

In addition to salt, the SMART Mineral Salt Lick contains a blend of supplementary minerals.

This provides a convenient way for horses to access additional minerals while licking the block.

The exact mineral composition and guaranteed analysis were not supplied, so specific minerals or concentrations should not be claimed unless confirmed from the current SMART product label.

Extra-Durable Pressed Block

One of the main advantages of the SMART Mineral Salt Lick is its construction.

The block is pressed under extreme pressure, helping it remain solid and reducing the likelihood of the block crumbling or falling apart during normal use.

This makes it particularly practical for:

• Stables.
• Paddocks.
• Yards.
• Tack and competition environments.
• Horses that have regular access to a salt lick.

Ideal For

• Horses and ponies.
• Everyday stable use.
• Paddock use.
• Horses in regular work.
• Horses that sweat during exercise.
• Warm-weather management.
• Horses requiring supplementary salt.
• Yards looking for a durable mineral lick block.

How to Use

Place the SMART Mineral Salt Lick in a suitable lick holder where the horse can access it safely.

Ensure clean, fresh drinking water is available at all times.

Monitor consumption, particularly when first introducing the block. Individual horses can vary considerably in how much they voluntarily consume from a salt lick.

Horses in heavy work or sweating substantially may require a specifically formulated electrolyte supplement in addition to access to salt. Requirements should be assessed according to workload, climate, diet and individual needs.

FAQs

What is the SMART Mineral Salt Lick?
It is a 2kg pressed salt and mineral block designed to provide horses with convenient access to supplementary salt and minerals.

Why do horses need salt?
Salt provides sodium and chloride, which are important electrolytes involved in normal fluid balance and other body functions.

Will the block crumble easily?
It is manufactured using extreme-pressure pressing specifically to help prevent crumbling and falling apart during normal use.

Can it help with hydration?
Adequate salt intake can encourage drinking and supports normal fluid and electrolyte balance. Horses must always have unrestricted access to clean, fresh water.

Is a salt lick the same as an electrolyte supplement?
No. A salt lick can provide useful supplementary salt, but horses losing significant electrolytes through heavy sweating may require a more comprehensive electrolyte replacement programme.

Can I leave it available to my horse?
It is designed as a lick block, but consumption should still be monitored and used according to the manufacturer's directions.
