Calcium rich foods?

We're having trouble finding a little alfalfa this summer.  In the bales
we've looked at around here, the alfalfa  probably got wet before it was
baled and not properly turned & dried out.  (It's been a very wet
spring).  The bales are heavy, damp, and moldy.  We like to use alfalfa
at vet checks for a "treat" and as a source of calcium.  We normally
feed (free choice) a local mixed grass hay of Timothy and Orchard and
they're on 10 acres of pasture (same grasses).

Is there another calcium rich food that we can offer the horse?  (Milk
and cookies are out - even tho Rocket would sit up & beg for them if he
had to!)

BTW, he hates beep pulp no matter how I offer it to him.  We were able
to get shredded pulp.  He got a handful dry, then wetted, then soaked X
1hr.  We offered it plain, with molasses, carrots, apples.  He'd just
turn his nose up at.  Persnickety horse!  Any ideas?  If he hates it,
there really isn't any reason to think that it will do him any good....
Sigh!  (This is the same animal that will vaccuum up my ham and cheese
or peanut butter & jelly sandwich and chase it down with my can of pop,
if I'm not watching him!)
