Green Issues

"Together with a group of friends I am trying to be as ethically aware ("green") as possible, trying to avoid environmentally unfriendly products, such as salt blocks that have been flown thousands of miles, etc. It was Himalayan rock salt that has set a few people thinking. There is an argument that, because it is so hard, it doesn't just melt in the field. But then I find my Rockie lick doesn't either... Actually, I'm in a salty part of the country, too, not far from Maldon in Essex. I was previously in Bucks, though, and used your licks then as well as now. I have been using the Rockie salt lick in the field for 4 years now. My own 3 horses and others they have been with in that time have all chosen to use the salt lick on a regular basis, but especially in the warmer months. One of the things I love about the Rockie licks is that they last for a long time in the field, almost regardless of the weather. This means that my horses can have access to the minerals they need, as and when they feel they need them without me worrying about having to replace them all the time. In addition to the physical benefits of providing minerals and trace elements, I also feel a secondary benefit to a field lick is that it gives a little variety to the horses daily feeding habits. I tend to move mine to different places from time to time so that the horses have to seek them out, which can help break the boredom of being in the same field. I would definitely recommend Rockie licks to other horse owners."
