Salts Role in Preventing Colic

Salt is a source of sodium, an important electrolyte in the horse’s diet.

Feeding your horse adequate salt will help to increase water intake, prevent dehydration and reduce the risk of gut issues including colic.

Most equine diets are deficient in sodium. This mineral is supplied by forages and complete feeds but is often not provided in sufficient amounts to meet dietary needs.

Horses should consume at least 2 – 4 tablespoons (1 – 2 ounces) of salt per day and should have access to free choice loose salt at all times.

Providing your horse with a salt block is not enough to ensure adequate salt intake. Loose salt is more readily consumed and better able to support hydration. However, there is no guarantee that a horse will consume enough free-choice loose or block salt to meet their needs daily. Mixing salt into their daily meals is the better way to ensure intake and support hydration

A salt block should be available should your horse want more. Unfortunately many horses do not lick salt blocks adequately since they can be irritating to the tongue. Mineralized blocks often go untouched due to their bitter taste; however a Himalayan and Redmond salt rocks are often preferred.

How to you offer salt to your horses?

Great visuals on checking saddle placement and shoulder and cinch checks.

*The saddle should sit even in front and back, this image shows a downward slope to the hind.

𝐃𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 COACH

Don't hate your coach for asking you a better performance. They believe you can do better.

Don't hate them for asking you to do more than you think you can. They trust your abilities.

Don't hate them for lecturing you about your absences and inappropriate attitude in training. They want you to become a good, responsible person.

Don't hate them for encouraging you to keep dreaming and work hard for it. They want a bright future ahead of you.

Don't hate them for requiring you to be on time on training. They want you to learn that time is precious.

Don't hate them for being angry when you cheat. They want you to be independent, honest and self-reliant.

Don't hate them for being too hard at times. They want you to know that the world outside is not at all times easy.

Don't hate them for reprimanding you over wasted water. They want you to know the value of things, even the littlest of things.

Don't hate them for giving you an honest constructive criticism than faking a good kind word for you to feel fine. They want you to know that you need to do better, if not the best, and that achievement is earned; not begged for.

Don't hate them for being your coach. They just want a better version of you who keep growing at every beautiful encounter in training , big or small. You have become a part of us. 😊
