Diarrhea in adult horses is pretty rare, and the first cause that should be investigated is Salmonella infection. This is potentially zoonotic and can be highly contagious to other horses, so I would recommend quarantining your horse and talking with your vet quickly.
However, if your horse's bowel movements are just a little softer than expected (but still formed and smelling like normal horse pellets), you can try increasing the amount of forage you feed. Also, adding some dietary fiber like pumpkin, beet or bran can also help. Talk with your veterinarian about what kind and how much. If you choose beet, make sure you don't feed beet powder without first rehydrating it - feeding the dry powder can cause your horse's stomach to explode.
