Horslyx Mint Mini Lick 650g

Horslyx Mint Mini is a 650g lickable horse treat with the cool, refreshing flavour of real peppermint oil.

Unlike treats that are eaten in a few bites, Mini Horslyx allows the handler to offer a controlled number of licks. It can be used as a reward during training, an incentive for catching or loading, or a distraction during grooming, clipping, farrier appointments and veterinary procedures.

It may also be used to encourage baited stretching exercises. The Mini can be offered directly from its tub or fitted into the separately available LyxLoop Holder for a cleaner, more comfortable grip.

The formula contains vitamins, minerals and trace elements, but the 650g Mini is intended primarily as a treat, reward or distraction. It should not be represented as supplying a complete daily vitamin and mineral intake unless it is consumed at the manufacturer’s full recommended balancer rate.

Is the 650g Mini a complete vitamin and mineral balancer?

It contains the Horslyx vitamin, mineral and trace-element package, but the Mini is generally offered in small quantities as a treat. It should not be relied upon to provide the complete daily balancer intake unless the horse consumes the manufacturer’s recommended amount.

How long does one Mini Horslyx last?

This depends on how many licks are offered and how frequently it is used. Remove it after each session rather than allowing unrestricted access.

Is it suitable for a horse with laminitis or metabolic concerns?

Because it contains 33% sugar as sucrose, obtain advice from your veterinarian or equine nutritionist before offering it to horses with insulin dysregulation, equine metabolic syndrome or laminitis risk.
