HOMEMADE FLY SPRAY (EQUINE)

9/29/2019

Throughout the summer months the flies can be ruthless on the farm. I'm sharing my homemade flyspray recipe because we all need this for our horses! It's easy to make, all natural and it really works.

Ingredients
4 cups apple cider vinegar
1/8 cup olive oil
2 Tablespoons MTG*
2 Tablespoons of dishsoap, unscented
20 drops lavender essential oil
20 drops rosemary essential oil
20 drops peppermint essential oil

Directions
Mix everything and pour into an unused weed sprayer or clean spray bottle. Shake before use and spray away on your horses! For best use, spray on once in the morning and again in the late afternoon. Also best applied after a sweaty workout. 

*MTG is an equine grooming product called Mane•Tail•Groom. It's available at most agricultural and feed stores and also on Amazon.com
