| 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 🤦🏼♀️ |

| 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 |
| Minerva |
| I'm much more into the idea of a fully hogged and clipped out cob than I used to be. I think that came with realising the difference between grooming them sometimes and having sole responsibility for their upkeep lol |
| BlackRose |
| They have a pretty painful bite. I’ve been bitten by one and had some swelling |
| Ashcroft Park Stud |
| Personally find hogged manes look just…. bad, but that’s purely my personal aesthetic view! Completely agree with Min re. the heat blanket though. Thank god for plaits |
