overweight horse advice

Even though i have had horses all my life I have never had to deal with an Obese horse before,when I say obese I am not joking she is Horrendously fat !
She is not my horse yet but I am considering taking her on from a neighbouring farm who is totaly neglecting her.
They have done nothing with her for the last 2 yrs that I know of and have told us they dont want her.
She just stands in the field all winter eating silage thats out for the sheep and during the summer has 10 acres of lush grass to munch on.
I was looking for another horse to drive anyway as my mare is ride only and getting on a bit.
Can anyone advise me on how the best way would be to keep her and work on getting some weight off her?
