I have been thinking about it for awhile and I know that my area is selenium deficient, but that is why I said I would be talking to my vet about it. I will talk to him about it before starting her on any selenium supplement. I know there is a small quantity in the feed I have (Inside Track), but since she does not get alot of that feed and none for a few months in the summer, its probably not enough.

My mare has not had a problem with tying up but she is young and we are just starting out. Maybe I'm worrying too much but I thought it was something worth thinking about.
The supplements I have seen locally are a selenium/vit. e mix.
