Salt blocks are super for spring and summer

Sweet! Warmer days are finally here. Equestrians tack up mounts and step outside to ride under sunny skies. Horses play happily in pastures and turnouts.

The sweaty season will soon start, and salt blocks will appear in horse stalls.

Here are a few salt and mineral block choices.

• 100% Natural Himalayan Rock Salt with 36" Rope
• 2 Pk-Carrot Barn Blocks
• Himalayan Rock Salt Block
• Horsemen's Pride Salt Block on Rope for Horses
• Sturdy Steed Peppermint Horse Block
• Sturdy Steed-Horse Block - Apple Flavor
• Talisker Bay Rock Salt Lick

And a few salt / mineral block holders:

• Fortiflex Salt Block Pan Black
• Intrepid International Horseshoe Salt Block Holder
• Little Giant SB1 4-Pound Wire Salt Block Holder
• Miller Manufturing Co. Universal Block Holder
• Perri's Salt Block Holder, Stainless Steel

Some horse owners like the basic salt blocks (usually placing them in wire racks or special tubs), while others prefer fancy Himalayan rock salts or sticky mineral tubs. 

Whatever the choice, these products are particularly important during warmer months, when horses tend to perspire more than in winter.

alt and electrolyte replacement become critical on hotter days. Got salt blocks?
