Bug Season 😭
"This really works, no more bugs around the ears, so no more head shaking. I even give it a spritz of fly spray after each wearing then I put it away. Lasted me the whole season. Is an annual buy for me."
The Defy the Fly™ Horse Collar is a long-lasting and comfortable solution for protecting your horse from flies and mosquitos. This fly-repellant collar creates a "fly-free" zone around the horse's face and neck, protecting them from biting and disease-transmitting flies, gnats, and mosquitoes for up to 2 months. Made of 100% all-natural ingredients.
Directions: Attach the collar around the horse's neck with the perforated side facing out. Two to three fingers should fit between the collar and neck. It can be worn with or without a halter or bridle. When bathing the horse, remove the collar until the horse is completely dry. Note: collar that is adjusted too tightly may cause skin irritation but will not otherwise harm healthy animals.

"Has a strong citronella smell. Was tight for mammoth donkey, fits the adobe town mustang well."
"They work good however break easily."
"Really hoping to give relief to my horse as flies are horrible this year. Going all in: fly predators, fly traps. Fly wraps and now this! Unfortunately, No way to adjust enough to make this snug unless your horse has a thick throat latch. Since package was already opened, I put it on. Figured the plastic would tear if it got caught on something. Won’t buy again !"
"Simply put. This fly ring just flat out works. We use it when riding to help our horses focus on ,well , riding!!!"
"These are not sturdy enough for horses. There’s a cardboard type ring that broke on all six of my horses."
"It didn’t last long enough to know if it helped at all. It broke almost immediately, despite being placed on a quiet elderly horse, and it isn’t designed to be repairable so it was not at all useful."
"Great scent and easy to use. Has helped keep mosquitoes away from my horses head and neck where she normally gets bit. Probably works for some flies but we have some nasty ones so it doesn't keep them 100% away"
"Did not last a week, the vinyl holding the cork broke on both horses, both sides of the snaps."
"Fits great; Works well; great product"
