It's entirely your decision what to feed your horses, I know there are many on here trying to help by giving information, including me, but it's your decision and your responsibility to know enough to make informed decisions.

With food prices being so high its sometimes helpful to get advice before purchasing. No point in wasting money.

I love hearing about what other's feed their horse's and have come accross many options I hadn't ever considered - most of what I feed is now is based on advice and it was a comment from a friend about Starch levels that really set the balling rolling and got me to look at feeds more scientifically. I've just been to buy feed and they'd run out of grass nuts and graze-on. Queue minor panic, they're the staple of my horse's diets at the moment.
I remembered someone suggesting Fast Fibre to me as a "complete" version of what I currently feed so have come away with two bags of that instead. It's a more expensive way of doing it, which is why I'd not considered it before, but it'll do them nicely until my normal feed comes back into stock. I've enough left to introduce gradually, but not enough to last me feeding it soley until the next delivery.
I always feed sloppy feeds to everything, much easier to digest and a reduced risk of choke and colic.
