Description
Waldhausen Salt Lick Holder - Keep Minerals Clean and Off the Floor

FAQ
Is the salt lick included?

What is it made from?
It is made from plastic, which is easy to rinse and wipe down as part of your usual stable routine.
Will it fit my salt block?
Licks vary between manufacturers, so measure your usual block before fitting. Standard stable salt and mineral blocks are the intended use.
Where should I mount it?
On a solid stable, barn or field shelter wall at a height your horse can reach comfortably. Mount lower for ponies, foals and youngsters, and keep it clear of rugs and water buckets.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It suits horses and ponies of most types, including natives, cobs and warmbloods - simply adjust the mounting height to suit.
