Horslyx Mini Lick Balancers: Hand-Held Licks for Treating, Distracting, and Everyday Use | Emmers Equestrian
Clipping, loading, and vet visits go more smoothly when your horse has something good to focus on. The Horslyx Mini is a 650 g hand-held lick from the UK brand Horslyx, made to be a reward that offers more than plain sugar. Pick the formulation that suits your horse: Original, Garlic, Mint, Respiratory, Mobility, or Pro Digest.
Tips for choosing a Horslyx Mini
- For everyday treating and distraction: choose Original, the base formulation of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements; Mint, which adds peppermint oil for flavor; or Garlic, which adds garlic oil that the brand says helps deter biting insects.
- For a specific focus: Respiratory adds menthol, eucalyptus, and aniseed; mobility adds glucosamine HCl, MSM, and omega oils; and Pro Digest is a digestive support formulation, according to Horslyx.
- For use anywhere: Emmers lists the Mini for the stable, during transport, as a training reward and as a distraction during clipping, grooming, or vet visits, and the tub is described as weather-resistant for indoor and outdoor use.
- Before you buy: check the label for molasses if your horse is on a restricted-sugar diet, and check the ingredients against your federation's rules if you compete.
These descriptions come from the manufacturer, and the extras are not proven effects. A lick is a treat and an addition to a balanced diet based on forage. It does not replace veterinary care and is not designed to treat any condition.
