The
purest
form
of
salt
you
can
give
your
horse.
Natural
and
as
pure
as
the
day
it
was
mined
high
up
in
the
Himalayan
mountains.
Horses
and
ponies
require
supplementary
salt
on
a
daily
basis.
Research
shows
that
salt
is
the
one
nutrient
that
horses
will
self-supplement
to
balance
their
diet.
Himalayan
Salt
Licks
hung
in
the
stable
and
field
allow
access
to
the
purest
form
of
salt, without unnatural flavours that can encourage greediness!
Horses
deficient
in
salt
will
lick
or
chew
on
mangers,
fences,
dirt,
rocks
and
other
objects.
They
also
develop
depraved
appetites,
rough
hair
coat
and
reduced
growth.
Mares
experience
reduced
milk
production,
according
to
reports
from
the
Mississippi
Station.
Horses
with
severe
salt
deficiency,
brought
about
by
a
low
salt
intake
and
considerable
sweating,
become
fatigued
and
exhausted.
Horses
that
sweat
profusely
can
lose
as
much
as
82.5
grams
of
sodium
per
day.
Consequently,
level
of
activity
and
degree
of
heat
stress
has
a
greater
affect
on
salt
requirement
in horses than any other farm animal species.
The
need
for
salt
varies
considerably,
depending
on
a
horse's
level
of
work,
riding
or
heat
stress.
Because
sweat
contains
about
0.7%
salt,
the
more
a
horse
exercises
the
more
salt
is
lost
via
sweat
and
the
more
it
is
needed
in
the
diet.
We
here
at
Organic
Beauty
recommend
offering
Himalayan
Salt
free
choice
or
by
the
scoop
to
your
horse
and
giving
the
supplement,
ProVision,
to ensure a healthier horse.
