She kind of a crunchy/Parelli type, so I'm surprised she reaches for such a big gun, but her boys seem to appreciate the relief. I've read some scary things about human reactions to the stuff so I do my best to hold my breath when she's hosing them down!<br /><br />Tiger balm for human bites?

I just hate using something that I know is awfully toxic when I drift into it's venomous cloud as I spray my horse, blecchh!

Supposedly the new spray from Absorbine, Ultrashield Sport, lasts through a ride...never tried it. <br /><br />My Boys wear flysheets and that helps. I also use fly predators at my barn and Equitrol feed through to keep the breeding flies down. <br /><br />Can't do muchJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187426796583947781.post-41723879476246941062012-08-29T07:56:20.088-04:002012-08-29T07:56:20.088-04:00Our Tractor Supply store here carries some "h...Our Tractor Supply store here carries some "horse and pony fly spray"... white bottle, yellow and red print..

I try not to use it all season as it's so toxic and nasty, but at this time of year when nothing else works . . . I've tried lots of fly sprays, and mostly use Bronco, but at the end of the season most things seem to stop working.<br /><br />We've Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
