Handy Horse Salt Lick
Looking for a more versatile salt lick for your horse? It doesn't always make sense to keep your horse's salt lick on the ground. Redmond Rock on a Rope provides the same trace minerals and equine electrolytes as original Redmond Rock—but on a handy rope.
PACKED WITH MINERALS
Redmond Rock contains 60 + trace minerals to nourish and naturally balance your horse.
EXCELLENT HYDRATION AID
Contains essential electrolytes that encourage your horse to drink more.
HANDY HEMP ROPE
A tri-colored rope makes it easy to tie our rock to a gate, stall, barn, or fence post.
GREAT FOR TRAVELING
Take it in your trailer. Our 3-5 pound rock is great when on-the-go and using in tight spaces
BOREDOM BUSTER
Use it as a healthy alternative to candy balls to keep horses occupied.
WILL NOT DISSOLVE
Our solid rock holds up better in wet weather and humidity than manufactured pressed salt blocks.

TIPS FOR USING REDMOND ROCK ON A ROPE
Here are some simple tips to introduce and help your horse get used to Rock on a Rope (infographic on web page)
1. TIE IT AGAINST A POST
Tying Redmond Rock on a Rope tight against a post makes it easier for a horse to lick.
2. GIVE IT SOME SLACK
Giving the rope some slack creates a healthy alternative to candy balls and boredom busters in the stall.
3. TIE IT TO A FENCE
Tying Rock on a Rope to a fence outdoors keeps it out of the dirt and mud.
4. TIE IT LOWER ON A GATE
Tying it lower on a gate allows horses to maintain the posture they naturally assume when foraging.
5. USE A LITTLE MOLASSES
Pouring molasses on Rock on a Rope will encourage horses to lick if they aren’t initially interested.
WHAT MAKES REDMOND ROCK DIFFERENT FROM HIMALAYAN
Is Redmond Rock a better choice than Himalayan rock? Yes, we think so! 100% of our mineral salt is mined and packaged right here in the USA. We kind of like that. Redmond Rock also contains around 7% natural mineral content compared to 3% of most Pakistani-mined Himalayan rock.
