Vitamin E and Selenium Deficient Horses

Consequently forages harvested from those areas will result in selenium deficiency in horses that consume them. Vitamin E concentrations in hay also decrease rapidly after harvest.

Platinum Performance® client since 2010

“I started using Platinum Performance after Sophie, my 10-year-old Paint mare, came up lame. After months of x-rays and ultrasounds and no answers, my vet suggested we do a trace mineral blood test and a hay analysis. The results showed she was critically low in selenium. Within a matter of months, she was finally starting to feel good again. Sophie is a whole other horse now. I’ve showed her in reining and now we’re doing jumping and cutting. There’s nothing she can’t do. She feels great, and it shows.”

“I use Platinum Performance Equine to ensure my show horses are in optimum condition. In west Texas, the soil is sandy and causes a lack of nutrients within our forage. With Platinum Performance, my horses will receive the minerals to perform at their best. I’ve seen improvement in their body and coat condition, as well as their recovery time between shows.”
