He has 2 hanging throughout his stall, and uses them throughout the day. My barn manager was impressed with how long they last, so now we have the large ones outside, too.

Ever since I read salt BLOCKS were orginally intended for cows with rougher tounges I've given loose salt. I put 2 scoops am/pm out for my horses (ontop of block) and it's gone everytime.

I switched from the Himalayan salt to this Redmond salt because I saw in Smartpak's vitamin/supplement charts that the Redmond salt has way more vitamins and minerals in it than the Himalayan salt does! It is slightly more expensive but totally worth it since it provides so much more for my horse. It only comes in a huge block though, while the Himalayan comes in a smaller size with a rope for hanging. This is the only reason I gave it only 4 stars for quality. I bought a small bucket and Smartpak's bucket straps to hang in my horse's stall and put the salt inside that. So far he is licking away!

I like this better than the square salt blocks. I can tie this anywhere and not worry about them breaking or catching on the cheesy block holders. Unlike the blocks that I find my horses eating out of boredom, this salt block relieves boredom without them overindulging. The price is great!

I put this in my horse feed pan with his grain to weigh it down so he doesn't dump it over, and to make sure he's getting his electrolytes and trace minerals.

It seems every few months my horse decides he doesn't like his electrolyte or salt supplement. I decided to try him on this because he just loves his salt licks. I figured maybe he liked the salty taste better. He so far seems to be eating all of it and not leaving any in his bucket. I would definitely try this for a horse who continues to leave his electrolytes in the bottom of the bucket.

The texture quality and value seem great but I am trying a different brand because it seems every couple of days my horse leaves half of it in his bucket. Not sure if it is the brand so trying Himalayan because he liked those salt licks very much

I have tried to get my horses to lick the salt on a rope and salt blocks, both white and mineralized to no avail. They just weren't interested. We live in Arizona, and the seasons are both hot and quite cold here in the mountains. Salt is vital to the horses, as it is to us. So after getting the Redmond Salt in my SmartPaks, the horses have learned to love it. Now, they are even licking down the 50 lb white salt blocks that have laying in the pastures for over a year. This Redmond salt is really good for them, and we use the "people" version for ourselfs. Redmond also makes a clay for internal and external uses, including injuries and mineral infusion, for people and animals. Check it out on the internet! Thanks SmartPak for having such good products for our equine kids.

I purchased this for my horse and he loved it immediately. A few weeks later I purchased another for the pasture at the barn where he is boarded. The second rock arrived broken, but I was blown away with SmartPak's customer care, couldn't ask for better customer service! Anyway, When the rock was put in the pasture, the other horses LOVED it as well. I will continue to purchase this product as the go to salt source for our horses.

Use this as an adjunct to the table salt I mix in their beet pulp. We've been up to 116 this summer and I hear my horses rolling these around in their feed bins. It helps to cover all bases!

Horse nutritionalists recommend to force feed daily salt (1 tablespoon), to ensure water consumption to prevent GI distress including colick. This is the only salt SmartPak offers and SmartPaks are the best way to ensure my horses get their supplements. They eat this no problem and enjoy their free salt source - a Himalayan salt lick from SmartPak.

At first, I thought my horse wanted nothing to do with ANY salt block. I had the plain salt and trace mineral blocks, and he never cared for either. I tried this rock and now I "catch" him standing with his head in his bucket. Also, my horse has a history of choking on his feed, so I feel better knowing there is a rock in his feed to deter fast eating. It also holds up better than other blocks. Will be ordering again.

I bought these salt blocks because the "normal" salt blocks are just disintegrating in all the rain here. These blocks are holding up much better and the horses seem to like them.

I bought two rocks for my four horses. My husband broke them with a sledgehammer; they came apart in flat, 1 1/2 inch thick "sheets". The pieces are perfect to put in the small, 2 quart salt containers in each shelter. The horses love the taste.

Our horses love their Redmond Rocks! We highly recommend them to all of our friends and clients.
All of our horses had free choice mineral and salt blocks when we introduced Redmond Rock salt and they never went back to the blocks!
Trouper the Mustang is a HUGE fan of Redmond Equine products!!!
