Glad you added that last line, Susan--can think of all sorts of other benefits
of vitamin E, but not much help for altitude adaptation.

Barbara, as I mentioned before, the horse has the advantage of a big spleen
full of red cells, as well as many other adaptations that we humans lack, so
he will likely handle the altitude far better than you will.
