RE: [RC] Toxic iron levels - Susan E. Garlinghouse, D.V.M.The general recommendation for horses is not to exceed 10,000 IU per day. And "toxic" means that the blood doesn't clot as quickly, not anything really drastic like some other vitamins and minerals can. About the only way to really do damage to horses with vitamin E is to run over them with a vitamin E delivery truck.
