Now that spring is here the flies are insane! They swarm my poor horse and I've tried a few different types of fly sprays but none of them work very well, most just last about half and hour then the flies are back, If you know of a good fly spray let me know thanks

We make our own spray. Let me go find the recipe for it. It works wonders. xD

I know what you mean either make you own like Zoe said or get Farnam Repel-Xp Concentrate you mix a little bit in with water and it works wonders. It can get a little expensive if you buy it from certain places but a pint lasts quite a while.

hmmm well my horse hates the spray bottles of flyspray so it doesnt realy work on her. but we use roll on and that works prety good.

We use some strong stuff with the cows let me see if i can find it online at farm and fleet or tractor supply

Urm, a fly mask works, you soak it in fly repelent, and attach it to the halter, but it can be worn w/o a halter, also

We always make our own at the sanctuary. A mixture of water, citronella and vinegar. It works wonders. Although Citronella is very hard to come by now.
