I think the best way to get her to gain weight is to turn her out in the pasture all day and bring her in at night. It's amazing what grass can do!! Try feeding her just a little alfalfa if nothing works. Look at the feed you are using. Try finding a feed that has the appropriate amount of protein, but also has a higher fat percentage. Lastly, make sure she has been wormed regularly. Good luck with your mare  Remember, some horses are just plain skinny. I've known many horses that just refuse to gain weight.
