Salt Block Holders: Secure and Clean Mineral Supply in the Stable
Salt and mineral licks are an important part of a balanced horse diet. They allow the animal to independently regulate its individual need for sodium and trace elements. However, if the block lies loose in the trough or on the floor, it quickly becomes dirty or breaks due to moisture. A robust salt block holder solves this problem reliably. It fixes the block securely to the box wall or paddock fence, protects the supplement from falling, and ensures that your horse always has access to a clean mineral source.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which holders fit which blocks?
There are holders for square salt blocks (usually 2 kg or 10 kg) and round lick stones with a central hole. Before buying, check the shape and weight of your preferred block so that it fits exactly into the recess or sits securely on the spindle.
At what height should the salt block holder be mounted?
The optimal height depends on the size of the horse. The holder should hang approximately at chest level. This allows the horse to reach the block in a natural posture but avoids the risk of getting caught with its hooves when pawing.
Hygienic Holders for Salt and Mineral Blocks
A salt block belongs in every stable, but it shouldn't lie around loose. With a suitable salt block holder, you prevent the important nutritional supplement from ending up in the bedding or breaking prematurely due to moisture. The holder offers the block a fixed place where your horse can help itself as needed.
