I mean I guess you could soak it. I've done that before for really dusty alfalfa. I just stick the flakes in a bucket, fill it with water, and let it sit for an hour or two while I was doing chores. Never heard of just doing this before competing, probably not the best idea to be introducing new things to the diet on the road. I just feed it every day.

I soak my alfalfa cubes in water, just enough to cover them really. Are you asking about soaking cubes or pellets or alfalfa hay itself?
I wouldn't try something new the day of a race though.
