Wondering what others feed there windsuckers?

I have a welsh pony who has lost a lot of weight this winter not helped by her wind sucking, feeling the cold so is wearing a fleece along with medium weight rug and neck.
 
Windsucking and cribbing can be a sign of ulcers, as she has dropped weight, unusual for a welsh pony to be anything other than fat, I would get that checked out first, then low sugar and starch diet, ad lib forage and ensure she is happy in her environment, field companions are not bullying her etc., my two welshies an a and b are on no hard feed both look well with the a unrugged and still a bit fat, the b is a slim type but is well covered, working 5 days a week and looking great but neither have any vices to pull them down.
