V-Plast 10kg Salt Lick Holder for Stables & Yards
Description
The V-Plast Salt Lick Holder is a moulded plastic wall or corner fitting that holds a 10 kg salt or mineral lick securely in your horse's stable, field shelter or yard. Made in Sweden from non-toxic, bit-proof MOD PP plastic with drainage holes in the base, it is best for owners who want a lick that stays put, stays drier and lasts longer than one left loose in a manger or on the floor.
It suits horses and ponies of every type and can be mounted in a stable corner, flat on a straight wall, or on a post outdoors — useful on mixed yards where stabled and turned-out horses both need access to salt. Browse more stable equipment to kit out the rest of the yard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size salt lick does this holder take?
It is designed for standard 10 kg salt and mineral licks. The holder itself measures 230 x 210 x 220 mm.
Can it be mounted in a corner as well as on a flat wall?
Yes. The shape allows fitting into a stable corner, flat against a straight wall, or onto a post in the yard.
Is it safe if my horse chews it?
The holder is moulded from non-toxic, bit-proof MOD PP plastic, chosen to withstand chewing and knocks in heavy-duty stable use.
Why does it have drainage holes?
The holes let moisture drain away rather than sitting under the block, which keeps the lick drier and helps extend its lifespan.
Can I use it outdoors?
Yes. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use and can be mounted on a post in the yard or in a field shelter.
Are a salt lick and fixings included?
No. The holder is supplied on its own, so you will need your own 10 kg lick and fixings appropriate to your wall or post.
