Little porky pony was bought a smart muzzle. He destroyed it within days meaning I had to buy him another.

I attatched a fly fringe to it, and he escaped from the field and lost it somewhere within about 30 acres so i never did find it again.
He was given a new companion, who he will quite happily allow to swish flies from him but when asked to return the favour he kicks seven bells out of her.

He got a gunky eye which the flies decided they loved. As soon as he whiffed fly spray near me he wouldnt let me catch him let alone apply any by spray / sponge / roller.
I bought him another fringe, pink, all singing all dancing expensive jobbie. Put it on yesterday and he's totally destroyed it.

I think he's done it on purpose. I found a trail of pink strings across the field, and at the end of the trail one browband minus the strings... I am stubborn and collected up all the bits and told him I would repair it and that he WOULD wear it... and he stood looking at me asif to say "just you try and watch what happens"

I do sometimes wonder if I have the most ungrateful pony in the country

Try leccy fencing off an area in the field so that there are no trees or posts to rub it off on, and then get a cashell mask.... they are virtually indistructable.... merlin has tried but to no avail.... his is very scruffy, but still intact after four years!!!

Fly fringes are not really that effective to be honest..... the flies just crawl up under them

Also Sainsburys are selling some material made into sarongs and things, that is insect repelling!!! It might be worth covering a headcollar with that???
 
Oh yes, he's a shettie LOL.

I can't leccy fence any part of the field off as he's being used as a companion to a new horse which isnt mine, and I she's very attatched to him so i would worry she'd get caught up in it.

I think he just hates stuff over his face. I have armed myself with some Deet for tomorrow and OH is going to catch him and put him in a headlock...
