Reminder to check that your horse has salt!

🍁🍁Happy Thanksgiving!🍁 🍁

⭐️Today’s Tip ⭐️: Make sure your horse has access to supplemental salt!

There’s all kinds of opinions about loose salt vs blocks, etc. but we won’t get into the weeds on that. Bottom line, horses should have free access to some form of plain salt. Many times over the years, horses have came in for training and went after provided salt like they’d never had any before!

This nice stout 2022 gelding was turned out over the winter to grow, but he’s back in work and available for sale! Great bone structure and attitude. Currently measures a little over 15 hands. He’s a Haflinger (small draft type breed)x AQHA Quarter horse cross so offers all the benefits of a crossbred!

Started slow and right with lots of ground work. Currently has 50+ rides and gaining more mileage by the day. Walks, trots, lopes and crosses water, tarps, poles/logs, tires, etc. Super easy going, more whoa than go, & the type of horse to easily go in any direction! Currently priced at $9️⃣5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣, contact Dave (402)289-7358.
