RE: [RC] [RC] fly control suggestions - Ranelle Rubin

Amy,

Have you considered creating a "tail" for him while his grows back? You can braid strips of cotton into his tail easily by starting at the top, and french braiding it in as you go..

No flies yet here in MI, woohoo, but they're probably coming.

My horse wrapped his tail around a tree last summer, yanked and broke his tail, as in has no use of his tail at all anymore. So no fly swatter. I'm trying to figure out what to do for him for fly control. Suggestions would be appreciated on ideas for at home in the pasture and also any ideas for what to do when riding. I'm thinking of a fly sheet, but have no experience with those or blankets/sheets of any kind, so not sure which companies are good or what to look for in a sheet that will stay on, breathe, etc. I have free range poultry to hopefully help with the flies, but I guess that means I can't use the fly predators.

Amy
