Rockies describe it as carrying seven vital minerals, with supplementary copper for bones, joints, growth and fertility, and magnesium to help take the edge off a stressy horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree-access salt is the simplest thing you can do for a horse's mineral intake, and the small block suits a single horse or pony better than a 10kg agricultural lick that will sit outside weathering for a year. The red colour marks it as the copper-supplemented block — that matters, because copper is exactly what a sheep must not have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMineralised salt lick carrying seven minerals, offered free access rather than fed by weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplementary copper, which Rockies link to bone and joint health, growth and fertility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnesium included, which Rockies say helps reduce stress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompressed block that stands up to being licked at over weeks rather than crumbling in a day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall block size, sized for one horse or pony in a stable or small paddock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses and ponies of any age, at grass or stabled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCattle, deer and goats, all of which tolerate supplementary copper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses on a forage-only diet, where trace minerals are most likely to be short.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsolutely not for sheep.
