| shit. shit. shit. shit. shit. shit. i've gotten myself into a very big pickle now. one that reduces my sleep. shit. |
| The Old Gods |
| The turtle enjoys eating them though. Mom would carry containers with her while we fed the horses, and she'd usually end up going back to the house with 10 or more of the things |
| BlackRose |
| To be fair when they buzz around me and get caught in my hair and do that buzzing thing right in my ear I flip out too |
| The Old Gods |
| Seriously, the things are huge. They're big enough that they make a solid thump when they fly into the side of the barn |
| BlackRose |
| *runs* Person: “wtf is she running for?” Me: “Big jumbo jet fucker!!!” *said fly following behind me* |
| ghost light stables |
| My new gelding HATES flys with a burning passion. He will throw a temper tantrum over them, a horsefly landed on his hip while I was riding him and he almost flipped over backwards freaking out about it 🤦🏼♀️ |
| BlackRose |
| Then things are terrifying to be honest - and wasps. Those seem to love horses. |

| Vinegar, tea and citronella mixed together does vaguely work. A lady who's horse I looked after used to make it and I have to say we didn't seem to get bothered as much. That being said, we didn't get bothered by people much either because it stank to high heaven |
| The Old Gods |
| A combo of fly spray + sulfur powder +/- menthol crystals works quite well |
| BlackRose |
| To be fair I think flies get use to certain things so the repellents become useless after a while |
| BlackRose |
| I saw somewhere that a spray bottle and some condiment or something worked for them as a homemade fly repellent |
| The Old Gods |
| I've yet to find a fly spray that get rid of them and the only thing that seems to work is a hand. Unfortunately, it's a 50/50 chance that they'll explode :| |

| Haha Min 😂 it sounds like your have your ponies’ best considerations at heart, which is all that matters |
