A short-chopped, low-dust forage replacement, see: http://www.dengie.com/new_site/products/hi_fi.html On hay soaking, some vets emphasize dust removal where just rinsing/dunking would accomplish the goal. Others stress the need to soak to actually change the character of the mold spores/pollen present (swelling?). IIRC, this was the subject of some studies reported in the mid 90s indicating that 15-20 minutes was as good as overnight (spore counts, not evaluated effect on COPD horses).
