**Rated 9/10 by Horse & Hound.**
Review highlight: "A great product for targeted application with long-lasting protection. I saw a noticeable reduction in flies when applied."
Tired of fly sprays that hiss, drip, and evaporate before you've even put the lid back on? The Equine No Fly Bar is a completely different approach. This concentrated, horse grooming bar, with botanical oils traditionally used to help deter insects, glides directly onto your horse's coat - no noise, no waste, no mess - and deters flies, midges, gnats, mosquitoes, noseeums, and black fly at bay for up to 7 hours from a single application.
**WHY A BAR BEATS A SPRAY**
Most other products on the market are 90% water and carrier solvent - you're mostly paying for what evaporates. The Equine No Fly Bar is 100% active ingredients: natural butters, oils, lemongrass, with zero dilution and zero waste. Because it's a solid, it doesn't hiss or rattle - perfect for sensitive or nervous horses who startle at the sound of a spray bottle.

**HOW TO USE**
Push up the bar (large roll-on format) or rub directly from the tin (standard bar). Apply to the coat in sweeping strokes - neck, shoulders, belly, legs, and hindquarters. For the face, apply to a cloth first and wipe gently. Re-apply after 6–7 hours or after heavy sweating/rain. As with any new product, do a small patch test first.
**WHAT MAKES THIS FORMULA DIFFERENT**
Most competitors products rely heavily on citronella or DEET - we don't use either. Why? Because citronella evaporates quickly, meaning shorter protection time. Instead, we've built our formula around lemongrass oil, a time-tested Ayurvedic product known to be an effective deterrent against biting insects. Combined with a base of natural butters and emollient oils, the result clings to the coat and keeps on working long after a spray would have vanished. DEET is a synthetic, man-made chemical, that can cause skin irritation, redness, or allergic reactions in some horses.
