Fly repellent for ears

[Tryitagain]

Has anybody tried Red Horse Ear Balm before ?

No but Sudocreme is excellent when rubbed inside ears.

I used to use Radiol fly cream that kept flies away for 4 days. Not found anything as good since. They have stopped making it. It was not at all greasy. Thank you. I have not tried Sudocrem for that. Can only try !

I just rub a little Power Phaser gel in their ears - works a treat!

Ha! Yiu have just reminded me that I have some Red Horse Ear Balm. I will put it on my mare's ears tomorrow and report back. I usually use it if she rubs any patches out of her face and it seems to work nicely for that...

I always use Battles Summer Fly Repellent Cream - it might be bright yellow and make their ears look alarming but it works.

never come across the red horse balm, but I like greasy stuff for ears as it's not cold so they don't mind it going in. a little smear of NAF D-itch or the nettex Itch-stop works well.

We use the wax-based repellents from www.eqwax.co.uk for ears. They are soft wax-based balms that you can wipe or sponge onto the ears. Very effective and long-lasting and translucent in colour too, so can used when competing without having to worry about having odd-coloured ears!

Thank you for your thoughts.
