This is great to know Lif, especially in buggy, low selenium areas like 
Michigan.  But what I'd like to know is how do you get the horses to EAT the 
durn stuff!  I've got a huge tub of Springtime's garlic sitting in the house,

effective, the horse's turn their noses up.  David, particularly . . . and 
HE'S the one I primarily bought it for!

 feed garlic & another supplement with selenium.  Lif
