My dressage trainer has suggested i swap my mare onto baileys No 6 and baileys stud balancer or topspec i think he said. as she needs more protein and energy but i think this has starch levels of 22% so am reluctant as i think this will send her nutty. he said basically best feeds are saracens, blue chip (expensive), baileys, dodson and horrel and i think top spec.

what do everyone esle feed she is 16.3 WB xtb ridden 5-6 times week and hard work in an outline but porb classed as mod work load. she lacks a bit of codition and is currently moulting so has also dropped off a bit.
 
You do not say what she is currently getting so it is hard to make suggestions, if looking to just up her condition micronised linseed would be a good addition to her present feed without adding to the starch.
Horses can work well on a fibre based diet without requiring high levels of starch which tend to either just make them buzzy or fat.
