Treats as a small reward for your horse

Most horses can be encouraged to behave positively with small treats. This can of course be a piece of carrot, apple or some other delicacy. The advantage of horse delicacies is that they don't spoil so quickly and can be taken anywhere. Treats for horses are relatively hard, which encourages the horse to chew and thus reduces the risk of swallowing. Horse treats come in many natural flavors. Observe the manufacturer's instructions for feeding.

Lickstones for horses

The classic lick stone consists of crystal salt and provides horses with important minerals. Especially in summer and when the horse sweats a lot, it makes sense to hang up a salt or mineral lick stone in the box. In this way, the horse can naturally supply itself with the exuded minerals. The licks from lictit are intended for employment and can be placed in various holders. Since most of them consist of glucose molasses with added vitamins, you should only give them to your horse for a short time.
