When fly season arrives, keeping your horse comfortable can become part of the daily routine.
Flies, midges and other biting insects can make horses restless, causing stamping, tail swishing, head shaking and constant irritation. And for horses that dislike spray bottles, applying fly protection can be a challenge in itself.
The Equine No Fly Lotion Bar gives you a simple alternative.
Instead of spraying a liquid over your horse, you apply the solid bar directly to the coat. It is quiet, targeted and easy to carry, making it particularly useful during the warmer months when fly protection becomes part of everyday horse care.
There is no spray bottle to carry around, no hissing trigger and no cloud of mist.
Just apply where you need it.
The idea behind the No Fly Bar is simple: put the product where you want it, rather than spraying it into the surrounding air.
The solid format gives you much more control over application and makes it particularly useful for horses that are nervous around spray bottles.
Some horses couldn't care less about a spray bottle.
Others hear the familiar hiss and immediately decide they would rather be somewhere else.
If your horse is nervous about sprays, the No Fly Bar gives you another way to apply fly protection.
The bar is applied directly to the coat, quietly and without the noise and pressure associated with a conventional spray bottle. That can make it much easier to incorporate fly protection into your normal grooming routine.
It is also useful when you want to apply product more precisely rather than covering the horse in a broad spray.
The Equine No Fly Lotion Bar can provide up to 7 hours of deterrent protection from a single application under normal conditions.
How long it remains effective will depend on conditions and what your horse is doing.
Heavy sweating, rain, rubbing and other environmental factors can reduce the effective period, so check your horse regularly and reapply when appropriate according to the product instructions.
No fly-repellent product can remove insects from the environment completely. The best approach to summer horse care is usually a combination of sensible turnout management, grooming, environmental management and appropriate fly protection.
The No Fly Bar is designed to help deter biting and nuisance insects including:
Insect activity varies according to weather, location, time of day and individual circumstances, so results can naturally vary.
Apply the bar directly to the horse's coat using smooth, sweeping strokes.
Pay particular attention to areas where flies commonly gather, such as the neck, shoulders, belly, legs and hindquarters.
For the face, do not apply the bar directly around the eyes.
Instead, apply a small amount to a cloth, sponge or gloved hand and gently wipe onto suitable areas, taking care to avoid the eyes, nostrils and other sensitive areas.
Reapply according to the product directions and whenever conditions such as heavy rain, sweating or rubbing are likely to have reduced the product's effectiveness.
As with any new grooming product, we recommend testing a small area first.
There is a practical reason we make this product as a bar.
A solid product is easy to carry, easy to store and easy to apply precisely. There is no large liquid bottle taking up space in your grooming kit, and there is no spray mechanism to pump.
For riders and horse owners who spend time at the yard, travelling, hacking or competing, the compact format makes the No Fly Bar particularly convenient.
Keep it in your grooming kit, pocket, saddle bag or horsebox and it is ready whenever you need it.
A convenient size for first-time customers and everyday use.
Ideal for:
Our larger format is designed for customers who use the product frequently or care for more than one horse.
Ideal for:
The refill option is designed for customers who already have the reusable tin and simply need another bar.
It means you can continue using the product without buying another tin every time.
The No Fly Bar is one part of a sensible summer horse-care routine.
During fly season, regular grooming helps you spot changes in your horse's skin and coat, while appropriate turnout management and protection can help reduce the impact of nuisance insects.
