There are 2 approaches I use. One is to treat the horse/pony to try to make them less reactive and less allergic to the flies. This I do either by an injection that seems to help all manner of allergies, and/or homeopathic-type remedies I generate using my bio-resonance kit. The other approach is to try to keep the flies away. I have recently started stocking a system of essential oils/shampoo that I've had good feedback from. If you go to https://health-disk.com/store and look for Ruggle-it products you should find them there. If you have problems contact me through the link to my home website below. Best wishes HorseVet

I have a horse who is allergic to commercial fly sprays. He comes up in welts. We think its the citronella. I have tried natural repellents as well as various brands off the shelf which dont contain citronella but while they dont cause a reaction in him they dont keep the flies away either. Any suggestions????

There is a product by Global herbs called Flyfree that you put in your horses feed and it's supposed to be really good. I was chatting to a girl I know who runs a tack shop and she was saying that a lot of customers found it really worked. Worth a try. I like global herbs products as they're very natural. I will definitely think about it next summer:)
