It's not in hay. And it can be hard to absorb in vitamin form. Plus hard to keep stable. Just because a product says it has Vitamin E in it doesn't mean it has the kind of Vitamin E your horse can readily absorb and use. I'm just so skeptical. I have bought Vitamin E products in the past. But I just don't completely trust them, and feel much better about my horse getting Vitamin E and other nutrients thru grass. <br /><br />MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-29214330223391499892009-04-26T04:38:00.000-04:002009-04-26T04:38:00.000-04:00Ace is a prohibited drug although it can be quite ...Ace is a prohibited drug although it can be quite useful and commonly used in the horse industry. It acts as a mild sedative and muscle relaxer so its just takes the 'edge' off the horse. I've used it before but if you are showing anywhere or going to a ride where the is the possibility of drug testing use caution as the drug remains in their system for 72-120 hours.Kari Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127376150926951072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-71327195622548182742009-04-25T23:14:00.000-04:002009-04-25T23:14:00.000-04:00Since you live in a selenium-deficient area (as do...Since you live in a selenium-deficient area (as do I), consider having your hay tested for Se levels, especially if you're buying local hay. And since you already plan to have her selenium levels checked in a few weeks, you'll know where she stands physiologically as well as nutritionally. It's my understanding that with most of the selenium supplements on the market that's its hard to overdose a horse on Se if you live in a deficient area. We supplement our hard working horses (endurance and event horses between myself and a friend) with Vitamin E and Selenium.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-57984714093540341432009-04-25T11:59:00.000-04:002009-04-25T11:59:00.000-04:00Have you had a look at the banned substances list ...Have you had a look at the banned substances list on the AERC website?
