Not Susan here, but with regard to whether the PP has enough selenium,
that depends entirely on the selenium available in the rest of the diet. 
If you have a really extreme deficiency, there isn't a supplement made
that provides all that is needed.  In which case, you still have to add
selenium, as your vet has suggested.

If in doubt, have a whole blood selenium assay run on your horse.
