Re: RC: Re: Lyme disease, anitbiotics and probios

I just recieved my new dover catalog and they are selling a fly control
collar for 12.60 and a set of 4 legbands for 19.70 they are supposed to
last for 2 months. They are also all natural so they may work safer if not
better than putting dog collars on the horses.
