What can I feed my horse to give her more energy?

I have this mare that is 6 and has a bit of coldblood in her but she is a “warmblood”. We show dressage but we also do other things like penning and pleasure and jumping and trails. But I have so much trouble getting her forwards. Its like she doesn’t have enough energy to move or just plain old doesn’t want to. She is better on a loose rein but the minute you pick up a contact she slows down greatly. We ride in a dressage bridle with a flash band, crank nose band and a normal KK loose ring snaffle. Everything fits her great and there is nothing wrong with her. Oats don’t work at all. I had her on 16% sweet feed for the last 2 weeks and it did nothing (I was using a bag of feed from our last show). Over x-mas she had a protein/iron deficiency and she had to have 3 large pure protein shots via IV and the vet warned me she would be hot. But she wasn’t any different from before. She had to be on 16% complete feed for 3 months and nothing. So what can I do with her?

Get a FULL blood screen. check cell count red & white
Get a dentist to check her teeth. She may be a latedeveloper and have retained caps or younger than you think.If you are strapping her mouth shut on sharp teeth she would be very uncomfortable. You say she is a warmblood with a bit of coldblood in her. If she is 50/50 maybe the coldblood is more prominent than you think.
If she had a protein/iron deficiency you need to talk to a dietitian perhaps. From that you maybe over working her on the feed she gets.
You sound American from your terminology so get some alfalfa into her. We use linseed for condition and seaweed for iron. Nettles are good to.
Get onto the simple systems web site and read up about forage feeding. No cereals at all (some horses are allergic to cereals)
