FAQs
How long does one Mini Horslyx typically last?
One Mini Horslyx is designed to provide approximately a three-day supply, depending on the horse's individual consumption rate.
Can I feed Mini Horslyx to a pony prone to laminitis?
Mini Horslyx contains molasses, which contributes to its sugar content. While formulated to be nutritionally balanced, you should consult with your veterinarian or an equine nutritionist regarding suitability for horses or ponies with specific metabolic conditions like laminitis.
What is the benefit of the Pro Digest formulation?
The Pro Digest formulation includes ingredients specifically chosen to support a healthy digestive system, from the stomach through to the hindgut, and the licking action itself helps stimulate saliva, which aids digestion.
Are there any artificial ingredients in Horslyx?
No, Horslyx products, including the Mini Licks, contain no artificial colours or preservatives.
How does the respiratory blend help?
The Respiratory Mini Horslyx variant contains Menthol, Eucalyptus, and Aniseed, which are commonly used ingredients known to help support a healthy respiratory system in horses.
Can I leave Mini Horslyx out in the field all the time?
It's best to monitor consumption and protect the lick from the elements. Leaving it out constantly might lead to wastage if it rains heavily or becomes soiled. Consider using it strategically or in a protected feeder.
What should I do if my horse eats the lick too fast?
To slow consumption, you can place the lick inside a feed bucket or use a specialized slow-feeder toy designed for horses. Ensuring adequate forage and water is also important.
Is this product suitable for foals?
While beneficial for adult horses, consult your veterinarian regarding the suitability and appropriate introduction of any supplement, including Horslyx, for foals.
Troubleshooting
Horse consuming the lick too quickly
Place the lick in a sturdy feed bucket or use a dedicated Horslyx holder to slow down consumption. Ensure the horse has access to fresh water at all times.
Lick appears to be softening excessively
This can happen in very warm weather or if exposed to excessive moisture. Try to keep the lick in a shaded, dry area. If significantly degraded, it may need to be replaced.
Horse is not interested in the lick
Ensure the horse is not already receiving too many other treats or supplements. Try offering it at a different time or in a different location. Some horses may take time to adapt to new tastes.
Concerns about sugar content
While palatable, Horslyx is formulated with a molasses base, which provides energy. Monitor intake, especially for very good doers, and consult a nutritionist if you have specific concerns about sugar levels in your horse's diet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
These licks are suitable for all horses and ponies, including good doers and fussy eaters. They are designed to complement, not replace, a balanced diet. Consult with an equine nutritionist or veterinarian if you have specific concerns about your horse's dietary needs or pre-existing health conditions.
Care:
Store Mini Horslyx in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If used outdoors, ensure the lick is protected from excessive rain and mud to maintain hygiene and prevent wastage. Clean any feeders or buckets used to hold the lick regularly. Monitor consumption to ensure the horse is not consuming the lick too quickly. Remove any lick that becomes contaminated with excessive dirt or droppings.
