Mineral licks for field?

[Jo1987]

I'm looking at getting a mineral lick to put in the field - just wondering what everyone has found to be the best to use? Trying to avoid the molasses based ones.
Thanks!

I just use the himalayan salt licks myself. It's become much harder over the years to find simple salt and mineral licks!

These are worth a try, although I've had limited success persuading some of mine to use them! The greedy ones seemed to appreciate them, but the fussy ones wpouldn't touch them!

Countrywide do sacks of good old rock salt, you do need someone strong to lift the sack into the car !

Thanks all, the herbilicks look like they might be what I'm after, mine are all quite greedy so hopefully they'll go for it!

Mine have the Rockies Red Mineral Lick in the field.

Mine have the Rockies Red Mineral Lick in the field.

This is what mine use too, they have a selection of flavours so even my fussy ones like one of them.

Rockies Red here too. Extra magnesium and no sugar.

I use magna calm and Himalayan salt ones but be prepared to have it litteraly wash away if your putting it outside

I buy the Red Rocky block, I then drop it against something hard to break it in half and put one half into pony's feed bowl. I add her daily ration of feed and mix around the half block. She then licks it as she eats her feed. I leave the bowl in her shelter so it does not get washed away with the rain and rinse each day before adding feed again. This way I am sure she gets a good lick of it.

Thanks folks, gone for a red rocky to try - if it goes down well there are packs of 10 on eBay very reasonably priced!

For the field get the 10Kg cubic ones, not the normal salt lick sized ones.
