Find a formula that works for you. There are a lot of good formulas out 
there but make sure you get one formulated for endurance horses, not 
race horses, not cows, etc.

I have become a non fan of the pre mixed paste since I found some of 
mine went bad, i.e. even with all the salt it had mold growing in it. It 
is handy but it does have a shelf life.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the tried and ture formula 2 
parts salt, 2 parts lite salt and 1 part dolomite.
