Highlighted Reviews

"My favorite spray of all time! It mists beautifully, works well and smells good."

— Sandra

"I can’t speak to how effective the spray actually is because the smell was really strange and strong. In general I like the smell of the different botanicals used in fly repellents but whatever it is the Farrier’s Wife was just unpleasant."

Bottom Line

For horse owners looking for a natural fly repellent, this product is a solid choice. Just be prepared to reapply more frequently than with chemical sprays.
