Horse Flies: Our formulation is powerful enough to deter the largest of flying insects. Horse flies are hated by both ourselves and horses, because they really hurt when they bite. They have a knife-like mouthpiece that breaks through the skin by slashing it, in order that they can then feed of the blood. The skin is left with raised, sore and very irritating lumps. Our formulations will calm and help stop the need to rub. Midge Bite (Sweet Itch): Sweet Itch is caused by an allergic reaction to the saliva of the biting midge. This causes intense irritation and normally affects the mane, tail, chest and belly. Although moist, wooded areas attract midge, some animals are more prone to the effects of midge bite than others and it normally stays with them for life, so it is very important to use a good deterrent that helps keep the midge at bay and calms the effects of midge bites, ensuring that your horse, pony or donkey is kept a easy to wear as possible. Broken skin: Animals that continously rub will lose hair and eventually the skin becomes broken and sore. Enhanced Formula Fly Deterrent is a gentle and kind formulation and can be applied directly to broken areas to calm soreness and help restore lost hair. Quiet Mist: Offered in a horse friendly, quiet, fine action trigger mist. The simple to use mist has an fully adjustable nozzle so a quick turn of the adaptor will mist a wide fine mist or a sharp jet mist to get deep into thicker coats. Sensitivity: Very rarely, horses, ponies and donkeys can suffer an allergic reaction to natural or man-made products. If you suspect your horse suffers from allergies or has a very sensitive skin, it is always advisable to carry out a small skin test before use.
