I think that within reason you can't overdose on magnesium, as I'm feeding extra magnesium plus a supplement with magnesium in it.
They wee out all the surplus that they don't need.

Fed at the full rate a horse of 15.2 [science recommendations] consider feeding minimum 6gms magnesium per day [12gms MgO], this is the amount in P B +, as far as I can see.
The Rockley Farm recommend up to 25gms Mamgnesium per day [50gms MgO] for a large barefoot horse, it is thought that excess is excreted. The danger is that they start to reject the feed due to the taste.
I have some balanced minerals, and will feed extra MgO because I don't feel he needs the full recommended rate of PB+, as his diet is full of good stuff.
The thing that I have greatest faith in is Micronised Linseed meal.
