A salt lick is not just a reward - it's an important part of your horse's daily well-being. Whether you're training a young horse or are an experienced rider with older horses in the paddock, you can support their need for essential minerals with a salt lick. And if you want your horse to feel like it's Friday too, treat them to healthy and delicious treats in different flavors.
Salt licks for horses - a natural part of everyday life
Salt licks - also called salt blocks - combine function and pleasure. Salt licks contain essential minerals and salts that help keep horses healthy. Our salt lick are made with Himalayan salt, a natural salt that can be traced back to the primeval ocean. Himalayan salt gets its beautiful color from its content of minerals such as iron, magnesium, and potassium.
Horses that are under heavy training or exposed to high temperatures often have an increased need for extra salts in their diet. With a salt lick, you can ensure that your horse gets the necessary salts and minerals naturally.
Benefits of salt licks:
- Salt licks supplement your horse with necessary nutrients
- Salt licks help your horse maintain a healthy electrolyte balance
- Salt licks ensure your horse has good digestion.

Many horses - many needs
No two horses are the same - there are many types and they can have different needs. That's why we at Unamari offer different types of salt licks and treats to meet different needs and taste preferences. Some of our salt licks have ropes so they can be hung up in the stable or paddock, for example. You can get our salt licks in different sizes and with or without a rope.
The Happies treats come in delicious flavors - it's just a matter of finding out which one your horse prefers.
Frequently asked questions about salt licks/salt block
How do I know if my horse needs a salt lick?
Your horse has a natural need for minerals - especially salt. If your horse sweats a lot or doesn't get its mineral needs met through diet, a salt lick can provide the extra it needs.
How long does a salt lick last?
Consumption varies from horse to horse. Many horses use their salt lick daily, so a single stone can last from a few weeks to several months. Check the size regularly and replace it when your horse is running low.
Where should I place the salt lick - in the stable or paddock?
Place the salt lick in a place where the horse has easy access, such as by the manger or near water. It should hang stably and be protected from moisture and contamination so it remains hygienic and attractive as a snack and supplement.
Are there any risks to your horse from using salt licks?
As with all horse feed, it's all about balance. Give your horse supervised access to the salt lick at first and keep an eye on how much it licks. Excessive use can lead to dietary imbalances, so always choose the right size and composition of salt licks for your horse.
