Loose Salt Vs. Salt Blocks.....

I know there is a lot of controversy between loose salt and salt blocks. There are both downsides and upsides to this!!!! If you see your horse constantly licking the sand in your arena(s) or dirt then this is a key indicator that your horse needs vital amounts of minerals and salt!!!! Loose Salt: Loose salt is recommended for horses that like to crib, bite, chew, or are really mouthy and are constantly biting something. This is because if they were to bite the entire salt block that would break a tooth or choke on how much they have in their mouth. Also, with salt blocks there is a lot of talk about how horses can not lick enough of the salt block to get enough magnesium, and copper. They would have to be constantly licking it. However, you can always buy a Redmond Rock and smash it up into pieces and they can have enough of it that way as well! Also, there is a Dynamite 2 to 1 free choice mineral that you can give your horse but since it is so concentrated you will have to add Isyzmine to it, in order to break it up a little bit!! ;) ;) ;)

Salt Blocks While Salt Blocks are good for larger herds of horses and inexpensive if you want to cut expenses. Keep in mind that some horses need to fill their mineral bank so much that they can never lick enough salt to fill it to the top. Salt Blocks are good but pay attention to the contents they contain in them, as long as they have copper and magnesium in them you are GOOD!!! ;) ;) ;) ;) Depending on how big the salt blocks are you can always smash them into pieces and put them in feeding bowls around the field. That should be good!!! The highest quality of salt for horses is the **REDMOND ROCK**. ;) ;)
