...I have used both of the salt lick holders in both my stables and I not too impressed with either of them.
The salt lick holder (not the grill) was easy to fit and screw onto the wall (my one stable was wooden so just needed an electric screwdriver and normal screws) which was a good start!! The salt lick I bought fitted in fine with no problems as the saddlers were unsure whether it was the right salt lick for the holder!
A few days passed and I noticed my horse had made an attempt of licking it but nothing too distastrous! After a few weeks I was mucking out the stable to see that the salt had begun to make the holder rust (I bought the metal holder) and the salt had started to crust around the bottom of the holder.

Koblenz : All the way here were small towns dotting the countryside - each one a unique gem to itself. EVery mile or so there were little "watering holes." Fresh Swiss mountian water trickled from an elaborately decorated brass mouth into a large stone trough. Each one had the date it was built, like a trophy. Flowers and delicate metal work illuminated each fountain. It was a delight to stop at each one ; even if just to get a mouthful of water ( or to dunk my whole head in! )
Back to Koblenz. There was a bridge over the Rhine to Waldshut in Germany. I chose to stay swiss!! I found a lovely cycle shop where I bought a great yellow / black cycle shirt and a side access water bottle holder for Tina, ( the lovely girl from the London story...
