They say, regarding pregnant mares (don't mention older mares): 
"The bottom line for pregnant mares is good, basic nutrition.
The majority of pregnant mares do not need any supplements when
they have access to good-quality hay, grass, and a mineral
block. Good nutrition (not over-nutrition) is the key for
allowing pregnant mares to provide the essential nutrients to
their unborn foals. This is true with two exceptions--vitamin E
and selenium. These two nutrients are very important to the mare
and the unborn foal, and they are in scarce supply in some parts
of our world. "
