Episode Details

From long days at the arena to hauling and rodeo weekends, we’re talking about what actually works, not just what looks good on the shelf.

In this episode, we cover:

• How to choose the right fly spray for your horse

• Sweat-proof vs. water-proof sprays and which bugs each targets

• Fly boots and masks: when they’re worth it and how to get the right fit

• Managing sensitive horses and preventing rubs

• Bug-bite relief options for itchy, reactive, or allergy-prone horses

Fly control isn’t about perfection — it’s about consistency and knowing what your horse needs to stay comfortable and focused. Whether you’re gearing up for rodeo season or just trying to keep your horse happy at home, this episode gives you practical tools you can actually use.
