Likit Granolo Low Sugar, Low Starch Horse Lick
Likit Granolo is a low sugar, low starch stable lick for horses and ponies, and is a reduced sugar and starch version of the original Likit Granola. It is best for owners who want to occupy a stabled horse during box rest, winter nights or quiet spells on the yard while keeping sugar and starch intake lower.
The lick fits the Likit Holder and the Boredom Breaker, so it rolls and shifts as the horse works at it, encouraging natural licking behaviour for hours of interest. Browse more stable enrichment in our horse treats collection.

FAQ
What is the difference between Likit Granolo and Likit Granola?
Granolo is a low sugar, low starch version of the popular Likit Granola lick, so it suits owners who want to keep sugar and starch intake lower.
Why is my Granolo lick white in places?
The whiteness is isomalt that has settled. Isomalt is the calorie-free sweetener that binds the grains together and it is white in appearance when unmixed.
Why does it smell malty?
The malty smell comes from the distillers' grain in the recipe. This aroma is normal and desirable because it helps with palatability.
Does Granolo fit my Likit toy?
Yes. Granolo is compatible with the Likit Holder and the Boredom Breaker, which keep the lick off the bedding and make it more interactive.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It can be offered to horses, ponies and cobs as a treat alongside normal forage, with fresh water always available.
How much should my horse have?
Granolo is a treat rather than part of the ration, so introduce it gradually and monitor intake. If your horse is on a restricted or controlled feeding plan, check with your usual equine nutrition adviser first.
