I don't, but the rep I spoke to about Omnis cubes does. She said they will gorge themselves the first few days but once the realize it's not going anywhere they chill out. I don't remember what she said exactly but I want to say it evened out to about a bucket per horse per day. Like the 2.5 gal buckets we mix feed in. I want to do free choice but my horses are in a pasture and I like that they have to come get in stalls to eat twice per day, makes it easier to catch it when I have to doctor a horse -etc.

In the winter we free feed alfalfa (round bales). We don't use hay nets because our horses still have shoes on. Our horses eat more the first couple days but then slow down. One round bale lasts about 3 weeks for 3 horses.

Me personally I do not feed the Omnis cubes free choice. I have a mare that would literally stand there and eat it all day in day out. They are all on pasture and I give them some hay just for variety but I do not feed that free choice either just when the pasture is drying out (like it is now).
