Sorry missed your first post. I responded to your second where it wasn't clear at all.
Not sure why you posted the second one, as it's actually quite a cheap figure for 8 horses including bedding.
How much do you spend on feed per month?

quite, I'm not sure who is all the girls paying next to nothing per month as they seem on a par/more than what HGA pays per horse..?!

I've got two dressage dutch Warmbloods in medium work. Limited grass in winter, fairly good grass summer, stabled at night with as much hay as can eat.
I use sack Coolstance copra, sack Charnwood micronised linseed, 4 sacks Emerald green grass pellets a month for 2.
Cost £68 a month for 2. £34 per horse. But I buy grass nuts in bulk to save about 30%
Best way to lower costs is ensure access to sufficient grass and as much hay as can eat, and top up with bucket feed.
Hay / Haylage / grass will always cost less per kg/ calories than bucket feed.

I posted it as it is a lot of pennies out of my income for the yard, and wish my yard feed bill was lower

I have my sisters and my own horse here - 16hh IDxTB and a WBxTB they graze overnight and have ad-lib hay.
A round bale takes them a fortnight to munch. So £7.50 a week per horse. They are in light work, ridden 5 times a week - mixture of hacking, schooling and jumping. Both have plenty of energy.
