WB Stubbs Manger Mate Holder & Plastic Salt Lick Holder

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 ...
...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 other stable which is made of breeze block, raw plugs are needed for the screws but ... more

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 other stable which is made of breeze block, raw plugs are needed for the screws but once again it was easy to fit and the salt lick fitted well with room to spare.
After a few weeks of my horses use the salt lick didnt stay up straight and I noticed my horse had a bit of difficulty getting to the salt lick which was a problem. Because of the extra space the salt lick had it rocked from side to side everytime my horse tried to lick it.
I decided to take this one down and put a bit herbal lick in the field!
A bit of a worthless buy to be honest.
