Highlighted Reviews
"Zephyrs garden no fly zone is amazing. I have tried so many products that were not compatible with my Arabian mare's sensitive skin and this salve has helped so much with her skin issues and keeping flies off irritated skin"
"Sensitive skinned Arab gets scabs and sores on legs from gnats. This worked well but after about a week I noticed he was losing hair in patches so I stopped using it. Hair grew back fine, started using product again and he started losing more hair, tossed it."
Bottom Line
The salve works well for certain skin issues but users with sensitive-skinned horses should be cautious of possible hair loss.
