Ingredients
  

  • 1 high-purity food-grade Himalayan pink salt block
  • 1 weather-resistant salt block holder
  • 1 set of secure mounting hardware

Instructions
 

  • Select a sturdy, weather-shielded location within the stable or paddock.
  • Verify mounting hardware compatibility with the surface material.
  • Clean the mounting area of dust and debris.
  • Attach the salt holder firmly to the fence at shoulder height.
  • Place the pink salt block securely inside the containment frame.
  • Tighten all retention bars to prevent movement or falling.
  • Inspect weekly for signs of degradation or excessive moisture.

Notes

Always position the salt block away from active water troughs to prevent premature dissolving from splashes. Perform a monthly inspection to ensure the hardware remains secure. This method is explicitly designed for equine electrolyte support and should not be used as a substitute for veterinary-prescribed medical care.
