I had asked Susan Garlinghouse about this once and her response was that
the typical dosage on the average supplement container for Se is far
less than the horse may actually need or can tolerate.  She was alluding
specifically to periods of strenuous exercise though, not just as a
daily supplement.  Platinum Performance has a great Selenium supplement
and the scoop in it is incredibly tiny, but I double the dose during
high exercise periods according to what Susan stated was acceptable and
safe.  I'm not sure why these polo ponies were injected either when
there are safer oral alternatives.  Seems very risky to me.  Now look
where they are, case in point.  I would love to know where they obtained
their Se injectables from.

Bad sign, replying to my own post. I looked again and apparently that is
the 
standard disclaimer that I quoted. Looks like it's a selenium
supplement. 
Considering that selenium is toxic in large doses and that the
directions limit 
how often it can be given I wonder what the advantage was to inject
rather than 
simply supply the supplement orally.
