1-2 tbsp of loose white salt in your horses grain or feed stuff is the best way to get it into them!
Horses don’t naturally like to lick the blocks enough to get what they need.
Super cheap at your local feed store OR grocery store!

Your horse NEEDS at least 1-2tbsp of salt per day.

Plain white salt.

Fancy pretty salts aren’t necessary and for the love-please remove the red mineral block.

Chances are they aren’t getting their minimum amount from a block-but a white block is great to offer should they need to self serve.

Horses need salt (sodium chloride) for essential bodily functions like maintaining fluid balance, muscle and nerve function, and encouraging drinking, which is crucial for hydration. Salt is not produced by the body and must be provided in the diet.

Ensure fresh, clean water is always available, as excess salt can lead to dehydration if water intake is insufficient.

Horses in heavy work or warm climates may require more-https://madbarn.com/how-to-feed-salt-to-your-horse/

If you believe that horses need grain in their diet to meet their nutritional needs, you are not alone. However, horses should get most of their nutrients from a good quality forage source such as grass, hay, hay pellets, or a complete feed.

Horses generally eat between 1.5-2% of their body weight each day, so an average size 1,000 lbs horse should eat 15- 20 lbs of hay daily. To help fill any nutrient gaps such as essential vitamins or minerals, a ration balancer may be beneficial. Depending on breed, body condition, and exercise level, concentrates may be added in to provide additional energy but are often not needed.

When deciding on what to feed your horse, it is best to invest in high quality forages as the foundation of your feeding plan. You can even have your hay tested to see exactly what nutrients it is providing. Please consult with your veterinarian or an equine nutritionist about your horse's diet before making any major changes, and remember that any changes should be made gradually over time to avoid GI upset.
