Why Salt?

Salt is a horse’s most critical mineral, while water is its most vital nutrient! Salt triggers thirst and assists fluid balance in the body, decreasing the risk of dehydration and debilitating diseases. It’s also essential for digestion and helps fire nerve impulses and muscle contractions—helping horses move fluidly and perform their best.

Fluid Balance Prevents Dehydration Digestion

Why Minerals?

Minerals play an essential role in every part of a horse’s wellbeing, from maintaining bone structure to hoof and coat health and regulating chemical processes. Because minerals are continually used, they must also be consistently replenished. Over time, a diet lacking diverse minerals can take a toll on equine health and wellness.

Common Causes of Mineral Deficiency in Horses

Modern farming practices have depleted many soils of essential nutrients horses need. As a result, the crops we grow—and the feed we give our animals—are also lacking. Overgrazed pastures may also become stripped of vital mineral reserves, causing some horses to lick or eat dirt seeking minerals missing in their diet.

How Redmond Helps

Our loose Daily Red mineral salt ensures your horse gets a consistent daily amount of essential salt and trace minerals. Naturally balanced and highly bioavailable, these minerals are easily absorbed and work together to fill in nutritional gaps in modern equine diets.

Some equine athletes put in serious work,
losing up to 3 to 5 gallons of sweat during
intense exercise. That’s a significant amount,containing critical minerals and electrolytes that must be replaced.

How Redmond Helps

Redmond Rock and Daily Red loose sea salt trigger thirst and encourage drinking while replenishing trace minerals used or lost through daily activities. IsoBalance electrolyte paste can also be given before and after intense exercise. Its isotonic formula matches the composition of horse sweat and replenishes critical electrolytes.

Horses spend a lot of time in stalls, paddocks,and trailers. Many are limited to the feeds we bring them and confined to relatively small fields and limited sun exposure when given turnout time. This affects access to diverse nutrients.

How Redmond Helps

Daily Red Fortified is perfect for horses who are stalled with limited turnout time. Its boosted formula includes added cobalt, copper, iodine, manganese, selenium, and zinc, as well as vitamins A, B, and D. Fortified supports hydration, immunity, energy, bone and joint health, digestion, antioxidant defense, body condition, and more.

Offering horses a rock salt or mineral block is a great choice—you absolutely should be providing one! However, if horses are relying solely on a lick, it may leave them lacking daily essential salt and minerals.

How Redmond Helps

Pair Redmond Rock with Daily Red loose salt. Together, they’re the perfect pair for hydration and mineral balance. Daily Red provides a consistent daily dose of essential salt and sea minerals, while Redmond Rock gives your horse access to extra as needed.

A horse can’t absorb essential nutrients and minerals properly if its gastrointestinal system isn’t functioning well and the gut microbiome is out of balance.

How Redmond Helps

Daily Gold is a natural bentonite clay-based gut supplement. Its ability to buffer acid and bind toxins improves gut wall integrity and encourages a healthy microbiome, improving nutrient absorption. Daily Gold also has a full spectrum of sea minerals to nourish horses.

From birth to age 2, a young horse can put on as many as 3 pounds per day. They require dense nutrients, including essential minerals and vitamins, and plenty of balanced feed during this stage to avoid deficiencies.

A broodmare’s dietary needs change during and after pregnancy, requiring more nutrients to support a fast-growing fetus and then nursing foal.

How Redmond Helps

Meet Shelby and her Arabian K-Love

Shelby’s horse wouldn't use his salt block even when exercised hard. She worried about mineral deficiencies and dehydration and went in search of an alternative. Read her story.

I've owned my gelding K-Love ++/ since 2011. He's now 15 years old and is a very well-behaved, respectful Arabian. He’s giving an excellent name to the Arabian breed in Norco, California, an equestrian-oriented town where the bar is set high with horse training.

K-Love and I do a lot of groundwork, as well as trail and street riding. I love being outside and feel peaceful when we're on the trail together. We also participate in dressage, which is an exciting and challenging discipline for me. For K-Love, who has a club foot, it promotes needed strength and balance that makes him more comfortable to ride on the trail—which is where we’ll eventually end up when we’re both old!

Back in 2011, when I first purchased K-Love, I noticed my horse wasn’t licking his salt block much, even on days of heavy riding. I believe salt is best for horses after a workout as opposed to giving an electrolyte every day. So when K-Love wouldn't use his salt block, I became concerned he wasn't staying properly hydrated and receiving necessary minerals. I knew we needed a quick solution.

It didn't take long for me to get to Inland Vet Supply and find the answer to our problem in a 20-pound bag of Daily Red Crushed loose mineral salt. I’ve been feeding Redmond salt every day since instead of an electrolyte and I’ve never had a colic situation.

I've told as many people as possible how great your product is! I love the natural state of Daily Red Crushed loose salt and that it's in small granules so horses don't burn their tongues trying to get enough. I also love you can mix it right into the bucket of whatever feed solution your horse receives.

During our years together, K-Love and I have had a beautiful journey of fun trail rides and competitive dressage. We’re now participating in the FEI (Fédération Équestre Internationale) levels. 

Thanks to Redmond, I don't worry about K-Love after a workout. I give him the Crushed loose salt he needs, and feel confident his body is being well-hydrated to support his joints, stomach, and muscles, preventing damage and low energy. 

Today my 15-year-old Arabian continues to feel excellent and have great energy.  We respect and do our best to listen to one another.  And we continue to challenge each other to push a little harder and do things we never imagined... like piaffe and passage!
