My horses love winter feeding time lol. Warm mash yumm!!. I live in Alberta, colder than hell in the winter, I soak feed in the house and take it out at feeding time. Makes for some strange looks when company comes to visit, but oh well.

It comes more along the line that if your horse is known for wolfing down their food, the pellets will be softer and pass down easier is you soak them before. The same goes for hay cubes.
I know of minis who have died on alfalfa cubes. My mini was in big trouble once because of them.

They only print warnings when they're forced to for fear of lawsuits. I did not know that about alfalfa cubes.. Good to know, though I do soak mine.
