Grazing in ice is dangerous for your horse

One of the dangers of using a salt-based ice melt is the harm the salt can cause horses and other animals. Salt residue remains in the melted water and runs off into the surrounding ground. It can then be absorbed through the skin or get lodged in horses hooves, causing irritation and injury. Choose a horse-friendly deicer instead, that contains no rock salt, urea or other corrosive ingredients. This will ensure that your horses and pets can remain safe and well during the frosty winter months.
