Did you know that adult horses need at least one ounce of salt per day? Hot weather and exercise both increase this need, while hay, pasture, and commercial feeds provide very little salt. This combination can leave your horse's diet short on this key mineral, which is essential for healthy nerve and muscle function, plus it encourages normal drinking. SmartSalt Pellets provide a palatable source of salt (sodium chloride) to help your horse stay healthy and hydrated. These apple-banana flavored pellets provide one ounce of sodium chloride per serving and are perfect for picky eaters! SmartSalt Pellets are ideal for all horses, to help meet their daily sodium requirement.
