As a barrel racer, I’m obsessed with the one percenters—the small adjustments that lead to a faster time, a cleaner run, and a healthier horse.

Liquid alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) is often the preferred formulation for horses with neurologic disease because it’s significantly more bioavailable than pelleted or powdered forms.
