This is the easiest and best way to keep flies off my horses.

My mare is a drama queen about flies. She will literally fling herself to the ground over them we're out on the trails. She just can't even if the flies are out. I was at my wits end with her until a friend at an endurance ride applied some war paint for

Works great on midlines and ears, chests to protect against the gnats, and when applied around the fetlocks and inside the legs above the knees and hocks, deters and keeps the ticks at bay. It will wear off the legs quicker if your horse is in tall grass

Love this ! So far I have not had to use a fly spray ! Works for days. Do put on my horse's belly and rump also. The Best Product I have used. Been using the last 3 summers!

The war paint is sticky enough to stay on long enough to keep repelling insects. Especially gnats! I like the applicator too rather than dipping my fingers into goop and getting more dirt in the ointments.
