fly control

I'm not real knowledgeable about owning and pasturing horses and before I go trying everything from a bug zapped to fly paper I'd like some advice on how to go about controlling fly's from somebody with success and experience. We have a Mare with some sores on her neck from scratching the fence post and the fly's are drawn to the wound and I'd like to know how to help her until she heals and how to prevent it from getting worse.
