Horse lick stones - minerals, enrichment and daily balance
Horse lick stones are an essential addition to your horse’s stable or paddock routine, supporting both nutrition and enrichment. A horse lick stone provides a natural source of salt and minerals, helping to maintain a healthy balance in your horse’s diet. Especially for horses that sweat during training or have limited access to mineral-rich forage, a lick stone offers a simple and effective solution.
At Emmers Equestrian, you will find a carefully selected range of horse lick stones designed to meet different needs. From classic salt licks made of rock salt to more advanced options such as a horslyx mini or likit treat, each product combines nutrition with engagement. Many lick stones contain a vitamin mineral and trace element package that helps balance nutrient deficiencies in forage and grazing, supporting overall health, coat condition and performance.
Horse lick stones are not only functional but also provide mental stimulation. Products like a likit treat or horslyx mini keep horses occupied in the stable, reducing boredom and unwanted behaviours. Some options include added flavours such as peppermint oil, making them more appealing while encouraging consistent use. Whether you choose a simple lick stone or a more advanced mineral block, your horse can regulate its own intake of salt and minerals.
Our collection includes trusted equestrian brands such as Cavalor, Excellent, Horslyx and Likit. These brands are known for their high-quality formulations, offering salt and mineral support alongside enrichment and long-lasting use.
