[RC] tight rear muscles and hindend lameness - shermanTitle: MessageAre you
supplementing with selenium? Or have you had his selenium level checked to rule
that out as an issue? The range of normal for a horse is .05-.50 (very wide
range) but endurance horses usually need a level of .25-.3 to keep from getting
muscle soreness. Storm used to have hind end lameness at about 35 miles
into a ride, sometimes sooner, eventually he started getting sore on 15 mile
conditioning rides. His selenium level was at .092 when I finally had it
checked, well within the range of normal for a horse doing normal work, but
not high enough for an endurance horse. He's never had a problem
since we started supplementing.
