I use fly free by global herbs and swear by it. Although it does really stink my boys coat gleams and has no probs with flies at all.

I use a fly rug pref one with a belly cover. I am also a  big big big fan of neem oil also aloe to soothe.

Someone on the H&H forum just posted this

My YO has a pony that suffers from the most severe sweet itch, bless him. So far nothing has worked, even tho he has a hoody and full fly rug over the top. His scratching is shocking, and fly bites would come up huge on him.

Anyways, she bought this product last week (28.99 for 8 x applications, one per week), and this pony has been transformed. Shiny, healthy coat, no new bites, scabs , scars, nothing.

From what I've seen, this product is definitely worth a try

I put Coopers Spot On on the horses - it's meant for cows and sheep but seems to be the best thing for the horses too. Test it first though incase they're sensitive.
I also give them blocks with Garlic in them, don't know if it does much good but it certainly won't do any harm!!
