Wow.. So impressed with the information this video gave me. Great, great job explaining everything so clearly. I have no choice but to SUBSCRIBE~!!! ThanQ.
Doc Jenni, Have you tried the continuous misting bottles like what is used as water bottle sprays at hairdressers? They are exceptionally gentle, the mist keeps coming out for a good period of time after a single pump so you can move your arms about and continue to cover a larger area of the horse so the experience takes less time, is less noisy and super gentle. Can buy your own and transfer whatever fly spray you use to it.
Hello Doc. I enjoy your informative post. Here in south Louisiana we struggle most with horseflies for months in the summer. I feel so bad for them & have tried multiple products & DIY but haven’t found anything that helps. Would you please provide me with any information on how to keep them free from the horrible horseflies? Thanks, Laura
I like to spray mine while they eat their grain, for the first time each year. They are more apt to be accepting if their mind is on their grain and less on what I'm doing. After a few days, they are old pros again. Usually, if a horse has a HUGE problem with something, it's because a previous owner made it an issue for them. The big thing is to NOT make it a big thing.....lol. Just go about it like it's just another day...no big deal. But keep your eye on their feet and teeth!
Hi Doc Jenni. This was a very interesting and informative video. Thanks for sharing. Have you ever heard of or used Hypochlorous Acid on any horse coats? It is 100% non-toxic and hypoallergenic. I produce it commercially if you're interested in trying some, please let me know, I would love to get you some samples.
So what did you use to make that homemade fly spray and will it keep the flies off of them permanently? Or do you have to reapply it every so often? I live on a farm with some people I roommate there with them and we have four horses in the back all of them are females. But only one is pregnant and she looks like a huge giant barrel lol!! ❤️❤️ So my other question is, would it be safe to spray fly spray on her as well? I would like to get some fly spray for each and every one of them that has a pleasant nice smell it's not loaded with chemicals at all and that it will not harm them especially the pregnant one she's about due this month. So is it safe to use fly spray on the pregnant horse? Thanks! Have a wonderful day! 🙂
my horse is allergic to citronella oil and lemon grass oil (tested individually). Both ingredients in Spalding Fly Spray. What would be a good alternative that actually works as well?
Cedar oil, cedarcide is what I use for cats and dogs and myself, and it's sold for horses too. You can sprinkle cedar chips in their straw beds too, but spraying them down is the best way. It's totally harmless, beneficial actually!

Kevin is not a difficult horse to spray. Any suggestions for a really difficult horse?

So would getting a continuous sprayer type bottle be better?

Kevin is such a cutie😊
Mine sees the bottle and she goes ballistic.
