When wet, it's such a small amount that it would fit in a small Tupperware container. They don't need a ton of hay cubes!
Soaking the cubes can increase water consumption that may help prevent dehydration and act as a carrier for powdered supplements and medications. How long the cubes are soaked and the amount of water used depends somewhat on the horse's preference. Generally, at least 20-30 minutes are needed with equal parts water to soften the cubes.
