It's because a horse eats from the top downward. Plus you're probably trying to stuff too much down her gullet.

Switch her over to weight gain 100% and she's probably too slim, so add 5% performance. She'll gain weight slowly but also be able to eat all of that (assuming she's over 10 months old).
