my farrier suggested that i should feed a skinny 3 y/o filly that i take care of senior feed, or tizwhiz, or both mixed together. Now i may go for the tizwhiz, but i thought senior feed could be only fed to horses like 6-7 years and up. Is really safe to feed to her?

Senior feed is safe to feed horses 2 years of age or older. However, it's not the most cost effective choice for putting weight on a horse. Free choice forage, a pelleted ration balancer and supplemental fat would work as well unless there are dental issues.
