I have also used alfalfa pellets and do them the same way - add them to my pelleted feed, soak and then feed. They can work well too, and sometimes the horse(s) get tired of the beet pulp. Or, when I'm first introducing this to a new horse, I will put a few alfalfa pellets (not cubes) in the mix to entice them. Once they start eating it, most horses will just gobble it down.
I HAVE used alfalfa cubes, but it takes much longer for them to "break down" and become soft. I usually have to break them apart by hand and then add the pelleted feed.
