I would start feeding the horse good quality low protein grass hay. Let it eat what it wants. Then after it gets some thing in it digestive track then start out with some oats with a little molasses on them. I do mean just a little molasses too. Remember this horse is malnourished. So you need to start out SLOW and easy on feed. The grass hay and oats both have lots of fiber. So this will help get it used to eating without issues. Then after it gets used to better feed for 10 days to two weeks you can work a higher protein sweet feed into its diet. I would keep it on the good quality grass hay for the time bring. The volume of lower quality hay is better for the horse.
Example feed it maybe half a bale per day of grass hay verses a few flakes of high protein alfalfa. A horse that is not being worked does not need the protein.
