FAQs
Can I feed this to my pony as well as my horse?
Yes, Rockies Flavoured Health Licks are formulated to be suitable for both horses and ponies.
Is this a substitute for a full mineral supplement?
No, this lick is designed to support a balanced diet and replenish lost salts, not to replace a complete nutritional program.
How long will a 5kg block last?
Longevity depends on the individual horse's consumption rate, activity level, and environmental conditions.
Does it contain molasses?
The Rockies Health Lick focuses on essential salts and trace elements; please refer to the specific ingredient label on the packaging for a full list.
Should I keep it inside or outside?
It can be used in both settings, provided it is kept dry and protected from heavy rain to prevent wastage.
Troubleshooting
The block is disintegrating due to rain.
Relocate the lick holder to a sheltered area, such as under an overhang or inside a stall.
The horse is eating the entire block in one sitting.
Remove the lick temporarily and offer it for limited periods daily to encourage responsible usage.
The block is not being used by the horse.
Ensure the lick is placed in a high-traffic area, such as near the water trough or at the stable entrance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Rockies Health Lick, secure the 5kg block in a compatible salt lick holder attached to a wall or fence post at a comfortable height for your horse. Ensure the location is protected from direct, prolonged rainfall, as excess moisture may cause the block to dissolve prematurely. The product is compatible with all equines; however, if you have multiple horses in one paddock, monitor the lick to ensure dominant horses do not prevent others from accessing it. Inspect the block periodically for any sharp edges or excessive crumbling, and keep the surrounding area free of debris.
