Smells That The Fly Doesn't Sit - horse odor masking mist 500ml
- Mist for horses that effectively masks horse odor, ideal for training, competitions and hot days. It leaves a fresh aroma that is pleasant to humans and unattractive to flies.
Too Fresh for Flies is a mist that masks the horse's odour, based on a blend of 10 essential oils. Simply spray the coat, mane and tail to make the horse less attractive to flies, mosquitoes and other insects. The essential oils neutralise the horse's strong odour and so reduce the interest of insects.
Scented mist for horses: how does it work?
Horse sweat and the skin's natural secretions have a strong odour that attracts flies, mosquitoes and other insects. The Too Fresh for Flies mist masks that odour with a blend of 10 essential oils, which makes the horse's coat less attractive to insects. The application can be renewed as the horse and the weather require, with no need to wash the horse.
How do you use the odour-masking mist?
Shake the bottle vigorously before use. Spray the coat, mane and tail evenly from 20-30 cm away, avoiding the area around the eyes and the nostrils. Pay particular attention to the places that attract insects fastest: around the ears, the belly and the groin. How long the effect of the mist lasts depends on the horse and on the weather. On especially hot days, with hard physical work or heavy sweating, reapply as needed. Before first use, carry out a patch test on a small area of skin. Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. Do not apply the mist to clothing or other textiles.
When does the mist work best?
The product is ideal for hacking out, outdoor competitions and hot days in the paddock. Unlike the shampoo from the same line, the mist calls for no washing, because you apply it to a dry coat in a matter of seconds. That means you can put it on just before going into the school or heading out on a hack.
Frequently asked questions
How many hours does the mist last after a single application?
How long the odour-masking effect lasts depends on the horse and on the weather. Temperature, air humidity and how heavily the horse sweats all play a part. On warmer days or with harder work, reapply more often.
Is the mist safe for everyday use?
Yes, the mist was developed for regular use throughout the summer season. The blend of ten essential oils settles on the coat, and most owners apply it every day or every other day.
My horse is frightened by the sound of the spray. What can I do?
For horses that react to sprays with stress, Doctor Horse offers the same product in cream form. You apply Too Fresh for Flies cream to the coat by hand, with no sound from an atomiser.
