No. If it passed through the horse without being digested and absorbed, the horse would still be mineral deficient, would it not?How would a pasture be given selenium, or is that even feasible? I don't think you can, or else the entire state of Nevada and Northern California would do it. Or maybe it's just too expensive to do it, I don't know, but I've never heard of it. Just have to keep feeding supplements to the ponies.
