Contents: A blend of concentrated herbal oils, volatile essential oils and pure avocado oil. Fly repellents can have a drying effect, which is why we include pure Avocado Oil, the very best quality skin and coat conditioner for equine use. In the warmer weather the skin tends to become flaky and the hair dry and coarse. High in Vitamins A, D and E it deep conditions hair and nourishes the skin.

Horse Flies: Our formulation is powerful enough to deter the largest of flying insects. Horse flies are hated by both ourselves and horses, because they really hurt when they bite. They have a knife-like mouthpiece that breaks through the skin by slashing it, in order that they can then feed of the blood. The skin is left with raised, sore and very irritating lumps. Our formulations will soothe and help stop the need to rub.

Directions for use : Always shake well. Use as and when required. Can be applied directly to raw and exposed areas and to help stop the need to rub. Apply liberally avoiding eyes and nasal passages.
Trigger Spray: Quiet, fine action spray ensures full and even coverage.
Refill: Self explanatory and also very useful if your horse dislikes sprays - apply using a cloth.
Gel: Very useful for those more awkward areas such as the head, belly, sheath and udder. Please note that gels can attract the sunlight and cause burning if not applied sparingly.

Broken Skin: When animals constantly rub and loose their hair the skin can become very sore and eventually break open to reveal raw areas where bacteria can thrive.
Super Plus Fly Repellent is a powerful yet gentle formulation which can be applied directly to broken and raw areas to stop the need to rub and so prevent hair loss. Also refer to 'Anti-bacterial skin Spray' which can be used in conjunction with 'Super Plus Fly Repellent' to help calm irritation, give instant protection and aid natural healing.

Raw & Sore Areas : No need to worry about application to exposed and sore areas, the formulation is kind and gentle enough to apply directly to areas which have been rubbed raw. It stops the urge to rub almost instantly and gets to work and soothing affected areas.

Midge Bite (Sweet Itch): Sweet Itch is caused by an allergic reaction to the saliva of the biting midge. This causes intense irritation in the mane, neck area, top of the tail, chest and belly. Usually more prevalent between April and October in moist, wooded areas. Some animals are more prone to the effects of midge bites than others and it normally stays with them for life, so it is very important to use a good repellent that keeps the midge at bay and soothes and calms the effects of midge bites, ensuring that your horse or pony is kept a comfortable as possible.

Sensitivety: Barrier Animal Healthcare appreciates that some horses and ponies have thin sensitive skins. Many such horses suffer allergic reactions to natural or synthetic products and for this reason, if you think that your horse or pony may react to products we advise you to carry out a small patch test before use.

Tried & Tested & Endorsements:
'I had a great testing place for this product as our fields get full of midges in the warmer weather. It definately helped to reduce them and made the horses a lot more comfortable. It was gentle on their skin and you didn't have to use a large amount for it to work.' Sacha Pemble for Eventing Magazine - July 2008.

'There are lots of fly repellents on the market and the team at Scottish & Northern Equestrian (SNE) has tried most of them. The real test came in the guise of a very midge-populated field one early evening. The sight was very amusing, horses' and ponies' tails were competing to see who could do the best impersonation of helicopter rotors, and standing amongst all this is a very non-swishy-tailed pony, who had been sprayed with Super Plus Fly Repellent. Smells great.' - Scottish & Northern Equestrian Magazine.

'It was used on a warmblood and was absolutely brilliant! It was very easy to use and the gel really made a difference to his mane - it made it really soft and wasn't greqasy at all. The spray was also brilliant, lovely smelling, really kept the flies away and was really easy to use. I would definitely use it again and give it a score of 9 out of 10' - Jessica Pearce

'This is a very effective fly repellent - one application lasts about 24 hours and keeps away the monster midges we have in Scotland. The smell is strong but not unpleasant. The trigger applicator covers a big area, so it is easy to apply. It doesn't stain my horse's coat. I like the fact that the product is 100% natural and contains no chemicals. Its good value for money.' Cecilia Emerson.

'My dark bay thoroughbred Jet is another sensitive soul who attracks flies, so wears a flysheet. I used the gel before hacking, schooling and dressage competitions. It is very good value for money and brlliant, but I'd like to see how effective it is against horse flies as Jet has a very bad reaction to them. This gel is quite strong smelling, but was easy to apply with a sponge and lasted several hours. I liked that you could apply it exactly to vulnerable areas and rub it in and the horse took no notice. It worked very well and score it 8 out of 10. - Debbie McNab.

'13.1hh Welsh x Arab, who suffers from sweet itch. His field has a pond in it so there are always a lot of midges about. I applied the repellent in the morning and early evening, and it worked really well. I found it easy to apply and it wasn't sticky or slippery which is important for me as my daughter uses him for the mounted games and voulting and so needs to be able to grip onto his mane'. - Sue Horton-Barr for British Horse Magazine.

'My horse has bad sweet itch and after using your spray, I put him into the field at night and instead of rubbing himelf on a tree, he started eating straight away, and was still not rubbing in the morning. My horse and I would like to thank you for all your help'. - Mrs E North, Cornwall.
