Smartpak has some good ones or Uckele. Make sure your vitamin E is D-alpha (this is the natural form and is better utilized by the horse) not dl-alpha (which is "synthetic" and not absorbed very well). Also it needs to have fat mixed in because Vitamin E is a fat solube vitamin and once again will not be processed by the body very well if not fed mixed with fat :).

ADM GroStrong Minerals ... it is the old Moorman brand of minerals ...
the correct vitamins and minerals compliment each other to be absorbed by the
horse's digestive system ...
Be very careful with the selenium ... your hay and supplement can overdose
your horse in the blink of an eye ... ever see a naked horse ... you will if they
survive the overdose ...

I have mare that is naturally low in Selenium, is symptomatic like PSSM1 but tested negative for it. My vet put her on an injectable liquid every 6 to 8 months. We never had any luck with feed through.

I have been looking online and will be very careful when choosing the supplement, the horse has been treated for EPM so that is why there is a need for the selenium... I am working closely with my vet so I appreciate all the suggestions!
