• Salt blocks are essential in maintaining good
  health for horses. The salt block is composed of
  sodium chloride, magnesium sulfate and water.
  This combination creates a foamy substance that
  is used as a lubricant for the joints. This aids
  in reducing friction and helps to make the horse
  feel more stable while walking or riding. Do you

• There are other salt blocks available on the
  market. Some contain only sodium chloride, which
  is the sodium form of chloride found in salt.
  These salt blocks are less effective than salt
  blocks that contain chloride and magnesium
  sulfate. The sodium chloride salt blocks for
  horses can actually lead to diarrhea. On the

  are ideal for young and gentle horses. Block
  makers recommend that you use a salt block for
  horses in warm weather climates. The blocks are
  usually sized to fit a horse's mouth, so to
  measure the horse's girth (length) and determine
  how much salt you will need.

• The type of salt block for horses that you use
  depends on your horse's diet. If your horse eats
  oats, hay or grass regularly, then salt blocks
  that are formulated for horses with these
  nutritional needs are ideal. Horses that eat a
  lot of grass and oats will also benefit from
  using a salt block with magnesium sulfate. In
  addition to using a salt block for horses, it is
  important that you rinse your horse's mouth after
  each feeding or water activity to wash out any
  food particles that may be stuck in the mouth.
  Food particles left in the mouth can easily be
  swallowed, causing stomach ulcers.
