Location: SW New Mexico		I feed as "natural" as I possibly can .
I don't care for the chemicals they use to bind the processed feeds together, especially in the pelleted feeds.
I do not feed sweet feed, ever. I feel they don't need the extra sugar in the molasses...
JMO.
I have a 1.300 # horse. He gets 1/4 C whole flax, 1C oats, and 1 C rice bran meal. 2 x Daily along with Equine Natural Care herbs. I feed Neuro,am and Structural Bld plus, pm.
All he can eat Bermuda grass and 2 flakes best quality alfalfa I can buy.
Dave looks and feels great!

Jazz's Girl - 2016-01-20 8:32 AM Would Chaffhay work for the alfalfa part?
 Yes. I fed chaffhay for a while, but not all my horses would eat it.  The 2 oldies that I really wanted to eat it turned their noses up, but the others thought it was candy.  The feed store didn't continue to keep it in stock...I think I fed most of their 1 pallet myself and several people returned bags.   So I do soaked cubes and pellets now. 
Mine have no problem eating it. I was just curious if it was same.

It's good stuff, IMO.  My old horses are just weird.  They like their soaked alfalfa, but if I put it in their bucket without rice bran, they will stand there giving me the stink eye until I fix my mistake. LOL

That sounds very similar to what I am going to try. A friend and I have been doing a ton of research on the subject and have found that buying the products and mixing the our selves is a cheaper alternative to buying something like cur ost, same ingredients But a lot Better in price!
