Re: [RC] fly repellant - love2ridenv

that sounds like a great idea!  i do ride with human bug spray, but i think 
i'll switch to wipes for my horse...that way i only have to worry about one 
bottle leaking.  and wipes take up less space.  but, then again, spraying a 
horse from its back sounds much easier that wiping...just get a small bottle 
from your local drug store and fill it up.  as far as skin so soft on 
horses?...a lot of sprays that are formulated for humans shouldn't be used on 
other types of mammals and visa versa.  about the wipes...YOU ARE A GENIUS!

There is at least 10-15 miles of trail during Tevis where there are
horse eating flies that leave big bloody spots on the horses. I'm
planning on reapplying insect repellant a few times on this section of
trail. Does anyone have experience with the Skin so Soft bath oil from
Avon? A neighbor gave some to us the other day when we located her lost
dog. I was tentatively planning on carrying a heavy duty ziplock bag
with a heavily soaked handiwipe or similar cloth to use when these big
attack flies start following us down the trail. Is the Skin So Soft safe
to use frequently, or should I stick with Wipe?
 
Any ideas or suggestions?
 
Thanks,
Kathy
