You need the vet/EDT have a really good look in her mouth for teeth problems/ulcers/melanomas etc. I would also consider scoping.

several reasons for quidding so you do need the vet out to check rather than an equine dentist first of all.

Not a nice one but I had a pony who was underweight when i picked her up, couldn't eat hard feed would drop on floor no matter how dry/sloppy very fussy with grass couldn't eat hay again balls up or spat out.
after further investigation turns out bad slight brain damage, though this when progressed to floppy lips & couldn't use her tongue like she should. She was not yet 2yrs.

Maybe get a second opinion to check teeth. When I got my horse his teeth were done two months before but he was quidding so I got them checked again and the teeth at the back hadn't been touched so were really bad.
Good Luck
