Advantages: Makes a good scratching post Disadvantages: Two likits can be eaten quickly
This is a bordom breaker which fixes to the wall, not one that dangles from the ceiling of the stable.
This is a ball which fits in a bracket screwed to the stable wall, it has 2 slots one either side of the ball to fit 2 little likits. The theory is the pony spins the ball around and licks the likit.
I have found with my Shetland that she can balance the ball so that she can chew the likit and gouge it out with her teath even when i only put one likit in the holder. Two little likits last her one night. Expensive and not good for her teath.
Also she uses it as a scratching post and protrusions in stables are never really a good idea Other more nervous animals could catch head collers or rugs on this and either rip it out the wall or harm themselves.
Wouldnt really recommend i think on hindsight these are gimmicky and more ...
Advantages: Very useful, easy to store, highly durable, great value for money. Disadvantages: Slender cartons wobble around a bit, but they still work!

Having seen one of our friends children turn into some psycho whirling tornado following three or four sips of a Fruit Shoot, we decided early on that water, milk and natural fruit juices where the way to go with Daisy. This didn't prove to be a problem while she was little as she just had water and milk in her bottle. But once she got older and we decided to try fruit juices we found that she wasn't ready, at that point, to drink out of an open cup. So we turned to cartons of juice and straws.
Oh the excitement! She loved them but we had to be really strict about Mummy or Daddy holding the carton and Daisy holding the straw which made it a lot less fun. Then what should drop through my letter box but the latest Great Little Trading Co (GLTC) catalogue. Upon browsing through it found these - the Juice Box Holders.

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. Not a good sign! I immediately took it out the holder and got my partner to unscrew the holder and take it down.
In my ...
