I have dealt with the same issue with my 20 year old mare. When we first got her in January, she was underweight, had a horrible coat and was very lethargic...and yes, we paid for her!!! My vet suggested that she is unable for whatever reason to properly break down hay. I feed her primarily grain and small amounts of hay. I also give her a probiotic paste routinely. Over the summer, we returned to a mostly hay diet, and the watery stool is back. We are now back to graining, and I cut the unsightly clumps out of her tail today. 
Good Luck!
