this something that would be beneficial?  At what dosage?  Just pre ride or 
on a daily basis?

We're using chromium polynicotinate--a more bio-available form that 
picolinate, and the dose is 3.5 mg per serving of GL. One dose of GL the 
night before seems to prevent tying up the next day--but then you have to get 
some exercise into the horse that tie-up-free day or you're bck into the 
syndrome again.
