I can feel a bug difference in my joints when I eat kiwi.

Also green banana flour is good for humans as a resistant starch, I can't imagine green banana flour would be a resistant starch in a horse but if it is...

Even dry it would be an improvement because the particle size is much smaller - "prechewed" as it were. You could also add Absorb-All https://www.uckele.com/absorb-all-4.html for both digestive enzymes and probiotics to support getting those VFAs out of fiber digestion.
