Lick Stone for Horses & Entertainment – Against Boredom in the Stall
You know the feeling: your horse is in the stall and doesn't know what to do with itself. A good lick stone for horsesand suitable entertainment toys are real game-changers here – they provide important minerals and banish boredom at the same time. With us, you'll find lick stones in various flavors as well as clever toys for the stall and pasture.
Why your horse needs a lick stone
Sodium, magnesium, zinc and co. – your horse doesn't always get everything it needs from its regular feed. A salt lickor mineral lick stone compensates for this, and the horse regulates its needs entirely on its own. Added to this is the entertainment effect: licking and nibbling calms, occupies, and prevents behavioral problems such as cribbing or weaving.
In our assortment, you'll find lick stones from Stiefel, Delizia, and many other brands – with apple, carrot, herbs, or pure as a real Himalayan salt. There's a suitable flavor for every horse.
Horse toys for stall and pasture
Lick stones are only half the battle. If your horse spends a lot of time in the stall or can't go out in bad weather, additional entertainment toysare worthwhile. Chewing balls, treat balls, or feed toys challenge the mind and provide exercise. In the pasture, robust play balls are a hit – even with slow-feeding hay from hay nets and hay feeders, your horse stays occupied longer.
Finding the right lick stone for your horse
Which lick stone is right? That depends on your horse:
- Pure salt lick stone:ideal as basic mineral supply
- Mineral lick stone:additional trace elements, perfect for increased needs
- Flavored lick stone:apple, carrot, herbs – great for picky horses
- Lick stone with holder:easy to attach in the stall or on the pasture fence
Tip: If your horse doesn't accept the lick stone, simply try a different flavor. Sometimes it's also simply the position – hanging too high is often ignored.
Healthy mineral supply – more than just a lick stone
A lick stone supplements feeding, but does not replace it. For a comprehensive good supply, it's worth looking at mineral feed and vitamins. And if your horse is more nervous or stressed in the stall, you'll find other options in the treatssection to make stable life more pleasant.

Frequently asked questions about lick stones for horses
How often does a horse need a lick stone?
A lick stone should be continuously available to your horse. The horse regulates its needs itself – sometimes it licks more, sometimes less. Depending on size and use, a lick stone lasts several weeks to months.
Salt lick or mineral lick – which is better?
A salt lick primarily covers sodium requirements. A mineral lick stone also contains trace elements such as zinc, copper, or selenium. With a balanced diet, salt is often sufficient; for increased needs (sport horse, young horse, pregnant mares), a mineral lick stone is sensible.
Are flavored lick stones useful?
Yes, especially for picky horses. Apple, carrot, or herbs encourage licking and provide more occupation. The flavor has no negative impact on the mineral content.
What else helps against boredom in the stall?
Entertainment toys such as chewing balls, treat balls, or hay nets with small meshes. Regular exercise, social contact, and variety in the daily routine are also crucial. A lick stone is one component – but not the sole solution.
