As others have said, it's good to check on both ends of the scale for weight... but the simple fact of how different she looks this time around, you obviously care a great deal for her and are smart enough to take on board advice rather than burying your head in the ground, so I have no doubt that your mare will be kept well.
I wouldn't say she's anything to worry about now, but these will be the weeks where they'll start gorging on that lovely grass.
I've had several comments both ways on my horse, very under and very overweight... in reality none of them had actually come and felt my horse, what they'd actually seen was a very fluffy coat covering a horse mid winter that lost slightly too much at one point (while I was being told she was fat) who has now started losing it and suddenly she's underweight (she's slightly over what I'd like!). Horses can be very deceptive without knowing the horse, it's history and actually feeling it.
She looks very happy
