Good evening all!
My two mares, and all of the other horses in the stables, are being bitten alive by horse flies, ! They go in the barn and attack all the horses when they're in their stables, they attack when they're let out, and this evening when I was riding I was killing them as they landed on her... They're covered in bites poor girlies. We also have a mosquito issue but the main one is the horse fly issue.
Sprays work for a limited time, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas? I was thinking garlic, but I'm not sure if it has any effect or horse flies? I'm willing to try anything!
I live in France so probably not all of the products you have available in the USA are available here...
Thank you to anyone who has any ideas and advice :smile:
