Sometimes using chemicals is a necessity, but whenever possible we like to use natural products. About a year ago we began researching something to use as fly spray.
We came upon this homemade recipe and after trying it we definitely recommend it. The ingredients are simple and can be purchased at a local store. We have chosen to buy a larger bottle of the essential oil online and have it shipped.
Recipe:
2.0 cups white vinegar
2.0 oz water
0.5 oz essential oil (either eucalyptus or citronella)
NOTE: We recommend that you hold the different types of essential oil out to your horse and see which they like the best. Our two horses liked the eucalyptus oil so when we brought our new young horse home we used what we already had made up. She likes it fine.
We'd love to hear what natural products you use with your horses. Please leave a comment!
