[RC] Blood test TB/ Arab Help - BeckeG

This horse was stiff in the hind end after rides this last year. Not a tie up but sore and stiff muscles.  The owner had blood work done.  Unfortunately, no selenium test but she is getting that this spring.  We put the horse on extra mag ox for the last 2 rides and he didn't have much stiffness and completed the ride. 
We are looking for suggestions and/or ideas if this is the only thing that needs to happen.
 
Here are the results taken 5 days after a 50 miler:
