Is the southern USA the only place where brownish-red salt licks are used? I've actually never seen a white salt lick for horses :/ But I have thought about changing the pink to that color...but now I'm confused since I've only seen brown salt licks and never white...not that I mind the bubblegum pink salt lick not being the only option anymore  Really? I've never seen a pink one lol xD As Lianne said here in sweden the white ones that only contain salt is the most common ones |

Just to show you your salt lick was appreciated Trigger had a look and a lick, and decided he liked it.  Sassa took a little longer, but she's quite the picky lady too. In the end she decided she liked it aswell   |

But from others comments, I don't feel so bad now for never seeing a white one. I think the brownish ones we have in the South are both salt and minerals, but I could be wrong. Always boarded my horse or rode someone else's so never had to buy one personally. |

It can just depend on where the salt was "mined" (is that even what you call it when it's salt?). I mean it depends of the mineral composition of where it came from. The stuff we use is "pure" salt with nothing else in it, but they add all sorts of things to the salt we humans eat, so I guess it sort of makes sense to give some additional stuf to horses too. I'd guess the different coloured German ones are due to metal content, like it would make sense for a red/brownish one to contain more iron.

It is called mining In the Southern United States we have a big concern about our horses overheating due to the extreme heat and humidity we can get in the summer (Florida is highly overrated for their summers--they are brutal, go to the west coat instead) so we probably never used pure salt licks. Heat and humidity makes a horse sweat a lot and needs more than just salt to replace the loss and help retain water; probably why I never saw a white one. Anyway, this wasn't meant to be a conversation about salt, lol. Thanks Elin again for the content! |

From germany i know white, pink, greenish, blue, brown (yuck), red and even himalaya salt licks  I haven't seen blue or green, but you can pretty much buy any of the other ones over here on the very edge of the south western states. I personally buy the large 44lb red/brown mineralized salt blocks. My yearling ate a half a mineralized salt brick over night...no more salt bricks. That no-tail will definitely come in handy for editing. No more awkward blending hair. :] |

Great content Elin! I love it! Also on a side note, in the eastern us we have white and reddish brown. But i personally use the reddish brown. |

I have only ever seen pink,white, and brown (when the white ones get really dirty). The pink for cows and white/brown for horses.
