Are there any likits that arent full of sugar and other bad things???

Pony enjoys them on occasion, she has a codlivine apple one at the moment. she is nearly through her 2 weeks box rest but id like to know which ones if any are 'better' for them
 
my horse EATS them over night so have to be careful how many he does have... but when he has eaten them i have never noticed any change of behaviour etc... as for the sugar content i wud of thought evrything in moderation is ok
 
When my gelding was on box rest I got him a plain Rockies salt lick. Interesting enough to be a distraction but not so interesting it gets eaten in one go.
 
Flintus yes she has done that too altho seems to have more self control with this one!!

3ponies she has a natural salt lick in her stable all the time which she only uses when she needs but thanks

maybe i shud just get her a TV and mini fridge ! she'd probably prefer that!
 
Dear Vicki,

Thanks for your question about Likits and if there are any other varieties you can try.

Likits are made from glucose and the recommended average daily intake is 300g - equivalent to 1 x Little Likit or 1/2 Likit - this is an equivalent amount of sugar as your horse would consume in 2hrs grazing so it really will not be detrimental to your horses health.

If you are looking for an alternative why not try either our Salt or Sport (Electrolyte) Likits - these can still be used in conjunction with the Likit toys and are a great way of providing your horse with free access to salt - much more fun than a traditional salt lick!

Best wishes,

Whatever happened to the molasses ones? Absolutely hideously filthy for noses and owners clothes, but the horses LOVED them (And my mare couldn't demolish one in under 5 mins - we have timed her!)

Unless you plan a health range? They'd sell well! Echinacea maybe? Or a magnesium calmer one? Or MSN and devils claw for joints and pains?
