> Would this hold true for oils like sunflower oil, which is >the more common
oil fed to horses?

Yes.  ANY fat source is prone to oxidation/rancidity, and the further away
from the orignial packaging you are (ie, a whole sunflower seed), the more
likely you are to need additional antioxidants, such as vitamin E.

The only time you don't need to add antioxidants is if you're feeding the
oil in "the original package" before it's ever had a chance to oxidize.  And
even then, the additional vitamin E doesn't hurt and can go towards other
uses in the body---such as the oxidizing effects of sustained exercise.
