One of the most common fly season questions riders ask is simple.
How often should I apply horse fly spray?
The answer is not more. The answer is smarter.
Stronger fly spray does not automatically mean fewer applications.
Harsh products often get used less because horses react to them. When consistency drops, fly pressure increases.
Fly control improves when fly spray fits into a routine your horse tolerates.
Reapplication helps during true fly pressure. It is not a fix for products horses dislike.
If constant reapplication feels necessary, reassess the routine and the product.
Lower fly pressure naturally reduces how often fly spray is needed.
The goal is steady reduction, not constant spraying.
Simplify fly season. Choose fly control you can use consistently.
Most horses do well with application before turnout and reapplication only when fly pressure is high.
