Farnam 19903 Repel-x Lotion 8oz 1 -

Have used before, good price. Works very well on ears for biting flys

I really like this product and have successfully used on many horses over the years. This lotion fly protection is easy to use and I use it regularly for the horses ears and face areas as it does not leave a greasy or sticky residue. It absorbs fast, while providing great protection and can be used on other areas and works well around cuts and scrapes.

I go through a number of bottles of this stuff every summer. One of my mares rubs herself raw trying to itch bug bites on her sternum and belly, so I smear a good coating of this down her midline every few days to help repel flies and midges. I also rub some on the bellies and in the ears on my other horses as well. Works great and the horses like when I apply it.

My horse ALWAYS seems to be the one who is in a stall next to a 'fly mask bandit'. EVERY time I go out to see him his fly mask in on the floor of the next stall. (I'm sure my horse is completely innocent of course :-) This lotion gives me a bit of added comfort that the fly's won't drive him crazy as soon as he gets his fly mask ripped off. I also use it before I ride and the fly's stop landing as soon as I put it on. It's not greasy. Overall a great product.

I tried this on the advice of my friend to keep the bugs out of my horses' ears - just to see if I could avoid using fly masks during the very hot, humid summer weather. My horses are field boarded 24/7, and the insides of their ears would get so crusty and sore from the bugs. Since I started using this just once a day, I have noticed a HUGE difference. All of the crustiness is completely gone and there are absolutely no signs of any bugs in or around their ears. I also use it in place of an ear bonnet when riding. It is absolutely not greasy and does not smell bad. This is a fantastic product and I recommend it to everyone.

My horse understandably doesn't like getting sprayed on his face, so I decided to give this lotion a try... At first I was surprised because it's quite thin and liquidy, but that actually works out really well for spreading it around and it doesn't leave a greasy, gunky buildup over time. Very happy with this product!

I used this product for the first time in 2014 and was pleased with its effectiveness on my gelding who is extremely sensitive to insects. I used it on the areas recommended by the company and he didn't get any bug bites throughout the summer or fall! Very happy with the results.

I purchased Repel-X because I was looking for something equine-safe to protect my horse's blaze and pink nose from the sun -- he is outdoors 24/7. I am very happy with the product -- it is a thick lotion with barely any smell, and it is working well!

I love this stuff! It is gentle but keeps flies out of my horses' eyes while riding. I have one who always takes his fly mask off, so it really keeps the flies out of his eyes too.

I got this because I had been using fly spray applied to a grooming brush to put on my horse's head. I thought this might be more effective and easier. The labeling is contradictory. The description on SmartPak indicates that it's for spot treatment around the eyes, muzzle and ears; but, the small print on the bottle says don't get it anywhere near the eyes and be careful to not get too much near the ears. I put it on carefully, but didn't see any difference between this and fly spray on a brush. But, the next day, when I came out, every spot where I put this was covered in dust and mud and was hard to clean up. I have a flea-bitten grey horse so it may not bother someone on a darker horse. For me, I can't see any reason to use it when other options work as well and don't make a mess to clean up the next day.
