Forget the Flies: A Smarter Approach to Summer Fly Control
Long summer days at the barn come with plenty to enjoy, but flies and biting insects are rarely part of it. Constant stomping, tail swishing, and skin irritation can leave horses uncomfortable and distracted, whether they are relaxing in the pasture or trying to focus during a ride.
Fly spray, masks, sheets, and good barn management all have a place in a complete fly-control routine. Equine America Forget Flies In-Feed Solution offers another form of support by working from within.
An Innovative Approach to Fly Season
Forget Flies is a daily in-feed solution formulated with naturally derived ingredients and innovative technology to help deter flies and other biting insects.
The formula contains standardized polysulphides naturally produced from garlic, MSM, and methionine. Unlike traditional straight garlic, the specialized technology used in Forget Flies helps provide a consistent amount of these compounds in every serving.
Once consumed, the naturally derived compounds are absorbed and delivered to the skin through the bloodstream. Volatile compounds are then released around the horse, helping create an environment that flies and biting insects find less inviting.
More Than Fly Support
Summer conditions can be challenging for your horse’s skin and coat. Along with its fly-deterring ingredients, Forget Flies contains organic zinc, apple cider vinegar, and seaweed to support normal skin and coat health.
Forget Flies In-Feed Solution is:
-
Made with naturally derived ingredients
-
Easy to mix into your horse’s daily feed
-
Highly palatable
-
Formulated to help deter flies and biting insects
-
Designed to support skin and coat health
-
Suitable for use alongside typical feeding programs
Consistency Is Key
Forget Flies is designed to become part of your horse’s daily feeding routine. For best results, allow for a loading period of up to 21 days so the ingredients have time to build within the horse’s system.
The recommended daily serving is:
-
Horses: 25 ml per day
-
Ponies: 20 ml per day
Shake the bottle well before use and mix the solution thoroughly into feed. Always follow the feeding instructions on the product label.
Because Forget Flies requires a loading period, it is best to begin feeding it before fly pressure reaches its peak. If flies have already arrived, start now and continue feeding consistently throughout the season.
Build a Complete Fly-Control Routine
No single product can replace thoughtful summer management. Forget Flies works best as part of a complete approach that may also include:
-
Regular manure removal
-
Clean water troughs and buckets
-
Proper drainage around the barn
-
Fans in stalls and grooming areas
-
Fly masks, sheets or boots when needed
-
Topical fly protection
-
Consistent grooming and skin checks
Keeping stalls, paddocks, and shared barn areas clean can help reduce common fly-breeding areas. Regularly checking your horse’s skin also gives you the opportunity to spot irritation, bites, or excessive rubbing before they become larger concerns.
Make Summer More Comfortable
From turnout and trail rides to travel and competition, flies can quickly disrupt your horse’s comfort and concentration. Adding Forget Flies to their daily feed offers a simple way to provide consistent support from within.
Start early, feed it consistently and pair it with smart barn management to help your horse enjoy a more comfortable summer.
