Brilliant stuff! My pony won’t keep a fly mask on and hates sprays but this repellent is perfect and keeps his face fly-free all day long.

This stuff is amazing, my two ponios were being tortured by flies, a sponging of this on “delicate” areas and not a single fly landed, thank you.

Absolutely love it. My mare hates sprays and attempts at desensitising have all failed so I was made up to find this product and especially because it WORKS. Bon was covered with horse flies and after applying this not one landed on her. I reapply every two days. I also purchased the fly repellent horse and dog shampoo bar and also love that. Thank you

Fantastic stuff
I smother this on their faces and hours later still fly free. Would definitely recommend

I find this works well as long as you get enough coverage, I just groom with the brush, wiping it over the wax every few strokes before riding, two jobs at once!

A definite must have for the summer, black flies absolutely hate it, i apply with a sponge, great for body and faces!

Great for those of us with a horse who hate sprays. The natural ingredients with no harsh chemicals make it safe to use. Soft consistency allows for easy application. Had the repellent a month now applying twice daily and still have 1/2 a tin left.

I bought the trial pack as wasn’t sure how good it would be. Have to say it’s been amazing. Lots of flies hoover around but don’t land. My boy absolutely hates any flies.

This is the best stuff ever have bought several and will keep buying! Have also recommended to several friends.

I was sceptical when I first ordered this product as I have tried so many before. However, I have to say, this is really great stuff. I use it on my three Dartmoor ponies AND my TB. It is very effective at deterring flies and when applied in the morning works through til the evening. To clarify, I use it primarily on their heads where the flies are most annoying. One tin has lasted for several months. Thanks for a great product!

First year using the Lemongrass repellent and it’s so good my Connie now cocks his legs like a dog so I can apply it right up into his groin. He is terrified of sprays so a solid block is perfect and it’s the only fly repellent I’ve used which actually stops the midges landing on his undercarriage.

I and my boy love this stuff, does what it say, and the smell is Fantastic

I copied a number of people at my yard who use this as they all said it works well. I put it all over my horses sheath as he suffers from sarcoids, seems to work a treat and isn’t so greasy that his legs end up gross when it sweats off. Smells lovely too, and kind for the environment not actually harming any insects.

Since using EQ wax lemongrass the horses are no way near as irritated by the flies and they are very happy to have the wax on them and it works fantastically.
