- Hydration: Salt is an important component of a horse’s diet as it encourages water consumption. Horses that have access to salt are likely to drink more water, helping to prevent dehydration.
- Behavioral Stimulation: Salt licks can provide a source of mental stimulation for horses. Licking is a natural behavior for horses, and having a salt lick can help alleviate boredom, especially in situations where horses are stabled for extended periods.
- Electrolyte Balance: Salt is crucial for maintaining electrolyte balance in the body. Horses that sweat, especially those engaged in physical activities, lose electrolytes and can benefit from access to salt to help restore balance.
- Dental Health: The act of licking a salt block can also contribute to dental health in horses. It encourages saliva production and helps keep the horse’s teeth in better condition.
- Natural Product: Himalayan salt licks are often marketed as a more natural and less processed alternative to some commercial salt blocks, which may contain additives or anti-caking agents.
