Herbie - 2015-07-09 10:30 AM Maybe! I don't have facebook and can't find much online. This same horse choked pretty bad last year on alfalfa pellets, but i've read that rachellyn80 has no problem on her seniors who don't have any teeth, so might be ok. I'd probably still soak to be on the safe side.
You'll just have to see these cubes to understand why you don't need to soak them. They're so soft it would just turn into a big mess. It's hard to describe, but they're like tiny compressed hay bales and you rarely see more than two or three "flakes" stuck together. They are nothing like traditional alfalfa cubes in any way. Very little binder is used so there's not even that weird baked shiny look to them.
I have a very choke prone horse and he hasn't had a single issue on the omnis. I was scared to try him on it and I probably watched him eat his meals for 3 days and realized there wasn't going to be a problem for him. Love these cubes! Haven't had to feed a single flake of hay since I've started them. |

True, they aren't hard at all. My babies ate up the samples I had. My old man with EPM ate them up.

Look at the poop to see if they are digesting the oats. See a lot of oats in poop?
Check the teeth or address the gut issues. |

I think one thing that throws people off is the empty hulls in the poop. It did me at first. So, I have put on gloves and picked up the hulls and examined them. This usually happens and shows up though if the horse needs dental work though. :) |

Gloves? What do you need those for.. lol 
Can Omnis cubes be purchased in CA? And for those of you who say you havent had to feed ANY HAY since starting them, how do you keep hay in front of your horse 24/7? THat is my concern. I want my horses to have forage 24/7. Thanks! |

This is the only way I could figure out how to get the Texas dealers from my phone on FB to BHW, lol.

We keep grass hay in the stalls with the horses that are up during the day, but since they've been on Omnis Cubes they don't eat much of it if any at all. They mostly make messes with it.
Ours don't sit and eat all of their cubes at one time though...they graze on them for a few hours and sometimes don't clean all of them up even by the next feeding. They are definitely staying full and satisfied. |
