Since my horses are out at barns now instead of in my backyard, I feed a lot
of Complete Advantage as well.  Soaking it for a ride stop would be fine,
although remember that since CA already has grain in it, by adding more
bran, you're adding more grain not more fiber.  If you're adding the bran
because they're more likely to eat it that way, fine---just remember you're
adding grain, not roughage.  :-)
