Dengie Healthy Tummy alternatives

[cobtis]

Hello
I am currently feeding Dengie Healthy Tummy and I like it, but it’s working out rather expensive!
I’ve been looking at some more cost-friendly alternatives, and I’m debating buying the Mole Valley branded Alfalfa Complete Feed - does anyone know the starch / sugar contents and if it has any nuts in it or anything ?
Also open to any other suggestions !
Alfalfa is preferred over chopped straw as she seems to choke on straw based chaffs
She’s getting on (23) but holds weight fine!
I also give acid ease and am considering adding a basic gut balancer

I used to feed this but stopped when it got to £20 (IIRC there's only 15kg in it which makes it particularly expensive) so I feed mine A & P Muscle & Focus (low starch, low sugar) and a separate chaff, mollichaff Veteran over winter (you probably won't like that 'cause it does have some molasses in it) and I fed Dengie Meadow Light over the summer. I've not been tempted to try the Mole chaffs because Mole is a fair old drive from me so I only go occasionally.
My horse is also 23.

I used to feed it to my two, but turns out my youngster can't tolerate alfalfa as it gives him a real bad upset stomach, so I feed Thunderbrooks grass chaff - it comes in 18kg bags, is just grass chaff and my two love it!

One is a rising 3 year old and one is a 20 year old for reference, both struggle with weight x

Also another one to consider would be something like Simple System feeds - they do alfalfa (but call it lucerne, although I believe it's the same thing just different terminology)
