A horse or pony’s biology is similar to our own. So the feeding of treats to a horse
such as sugar or molasses can lead to an overweight animal. Just as a child might
relish sweets or chocolates a pony may savour sweet treats. These may not be good
for them, as veterinary experts agree that problems such as laminitis can result
when horses are overfed.
Rockies Health licks offer you a wise choice alternative. Primarily containing essential
salt and other vital minerals and trace elements, they can help replace the missing
goodness that is crucial to maintaining a healthy horse. Use them all year round
- but especially during the hotter summer months.
