At home/home made fly spray for horses?

Question

Hi.

I am going on a trail ride tomorrow, but I am out of fly spray for my horse.

I was wondering if there was anything I could put together tomorrow morning/use tomorrow as fly spray.

Something pretty simple but effective :]]

(p.s. can i use any products already out there, for humans maybe, that is safe for horses?)

what do you guys use on-the-spot?

Thanks!

Answer 1

i have heard that if you use 1 part water, 1 part apple cider vinegar and 1 part pinesol.  it should help....

Answer 2

half pinesal and half water i have a horse it works amazingly!

Answer 3

Skin So Soft, which is made by Avon, works well as a fly spray.  You may be able to find it or something like it in your local drug store or grocery.

And to the person who suggested Pine-sol.  DON'T use it!  It is not meant for consumption, and could be poisonous if ingested by your horse.

Answer 4

I've never tried it on horses but vinegar and water solution works for dogs.  If they l**k it, they won't die lol
