Newsletter To E or not to E continued... I like to supplement Vitamin E/Selenium for horses that have certain diseases and lameness. Any muscular disorder is a definite, this would include tie-up horses, EPSM horses, white muscle disease, Shivers, and horses prone to mild cramping. I also like to use Vitamin E/Selenium when I am trying to give the immune system a boost, like chronic respiratory disease, skin conditions, or geriatric challenged immune systems. As far as discipline is concerned, you may be feeding an adequate amount but the stresses on the body may demand more. There are many excellent over the counter supplements. Vitamin E and selenium are very safe products. You should discuss with your veterinarian or nutritionist whether a supplement is warranted and what supplement is right for your horse.
