Himalayan Salt Licks are sourced from an ancient, dried up ocean and their distinctive pink colour is due to the naturally occurring calcium, magnesium and iron in them.
Already popular with both leisure and competition horse owners, there are many benefits to the salt stones including:
98% salt (sodium chloride) content – more than double that of processed salt licks;
great value for money – as a hard, natural stone, they do not deteriorate when damp and horses cannot bite lumps out of them;
Supplied on a rope for easy hanging.
