Horse Magazine 'Beat the flies'

I enjoyed your buyers' guide to products which can be helpful for horses with itching (April issue).

However, I was surprised you didn't mention a product called Beelzebug in the article. My three-year-old mare, Ice, suffered serious itching last year. She scratched away her mane and tail and her withers and belly were a mass of open sores.

I used Beelzebug on her and it worked to repel the annoying midges which were causing the problem. In just under a month her hair had grown back. She was the only horse in the field last summer not bothered by flies.

I'm sure other readers would be interested in finding out more about this product.
