Re: [RC] [RC] Mosquitoes and riding tights - Laurie Durgin

Oh, yeah, duh, slap my forhead---Gardeners use a recipe of blended up bugs to spray as repellent on some plants---and yes I gardened prehorse days---even have the recipe in my "Gardening naturally" or something like that.You use horse poop and spin-blended bugs for repellent and mulch for weed control---Waaa--laaa
You could learn to enjoy it >vwg<

That does it. Looks like we'll be able to recognize the Minnesotans by
the cigars they smoke going down the trail. :-)

Back to our good ol' Southern B-52 horseflies. I may have found an
effective repellent yesterday...horsefly guts! I noticed after we'd
killed several the remainder of the flies swarmed around us, but never
seemed to land. :-) I've heard of putting a dead crow on a stick in your
garden for crows so who knows?

We are talking about all the tools we can use to keep our horses safe and
alive at the rides. Training/conditioning is one of the best tools
available. It makes us better horseman and women, it benefits our horses
and could quite possibly be the key to preventing most crashes.
