Beyond simply stopping “annoying” buzzing, consistent use of repellent sprays, helps maintains an animal’s overall health and performance by preventing the harmful effects of biting and filth-carrying insects.
NOTE: Giddy-Up Defendzzzz Insect Repellent is also great for people to use.
Physical Health & Comfort
Persistent fly activity causes physical damage that goes beyond a simple bite:
- Hoof and Leg Integrity: Reduces repetitive hoof stomping, which can lead to loose shoes, chipped hooves, and leg fatigue.
- Skin Protection: Prevents Sweet Itch (allergic reactions to midge saliva) and other hypersensitivities that cause hair loss, hives, and thick skin.
- Wound Hygiene: Repellent ointments create a barrier over open wounds, preventing flies from landing and causing secondary infections.
- Body Condition: Minimises “fly worry” that causes animals to burn energy by constantly moving, which can lead to weight loss and reduced grazing time.
Behavioural & Performance Benefits
- Training & Performance: A horse free from biting flies is more focussed during work, reducing erratic behaviours like head tossing, kicking, or bucking while being ridden.
- Stress Reduction: Lowers physiological stress markers, such as heart and respiration rates, ensuring the animal remains calm and easier to handle.
