Re: New Anti-Fly Product?

["Sandy Bolinger" <bolinger@bigsky.net>]

It's called Freedom Spot-On.  This is what they say about it in Equus:
A fly repellent applied in six drops...Manufacturers suggest applying one
drop to the horse's forehead, croup and at each knee and hock to repel flies
for 14 days."Once the product is applied it takes about 18 to 24 hours to
travel from the tip of the tail to the top of the head," says Larry James,
co-owner and founder of Star Horse Products. "It has a 70 to 75 percent
repel rate, and if a fly makes contact with the horse, the fly will die."
Price: Suggested retail, $24.95 for one- month pack, $50 for three-month
pack.
