EquiSpot has never worked for us. Freedom works on
mine. A little more expensive, but not much. Specially since the EquiSpot was
just like I put nothing on. If you read the labels it looks like they are the
same thing, but they are not. The base is formulated a little differently and
although they read that they have the same percentage of active
ingredients, the tubes vary in weight between brands.(content difference)
Freedom puts more active ingredient on.

(not a chemist, but with lots of school in that
area, and Daddy was a toxicologist and ran one of the state ag labs before he
retired, learned more over the dinner table than I ever did in school. :o), Now
if I can only get him to think horses are good for more than dog food..
sigh.....He is book smart but no horse sense)
I have a miniature horse here at the rescue. I use
Equi-Spot on all the horses due to ticks. I use 1/3 - 1/2 a tube on the
mini. Just my personal experience.
I will tell you that I get acceptable control for 2
weeks - minimal control in week 3 and it is gone from there on. If you
get a heavy rain I think you can lose some of the product despite the fact
that it is oil based.
