I have changed over to Hayrite minicubes from baled alfalfa over the last two months. I began adding the mini cubes to their diet by soaking them in water. Each time I fed, I would go ahead and pour the water on the next feeding portion. Now I have dropped the baled alfalfa completely, and feed just the Hayrite with no soaking. Horses are happier, and seem more satisfied.
It is important to read the feeding instructions, and weigh the cubes when you feed. Cubes and neglected teeth are not a good idea. Lastly, it's not just cubes, it's Hayrite cubes.

I use hayrite minis as well! They won’t eat any other brand now. It’s out of my way to get them but if it makes them happy and healthy I’m all for it. I love doing soaked cubes in the winter bc I know they’re getting “some” water. I try to have heated buckets for everyone but they break and intermittently work.
