Tabard Equine Fly Spray

Tabard Horse Fly Spray

Tabard Equine Fly Spray stops insects bothering your horses all summer long. This versatile wipe-on or spray-on repellent is effective against house flies and stable flies, and also kills ticks and mosquitoes — essential for South African conditions where tick-borne illness and fly worry can ruin a horse's day.

Key Benefits

• Repels house flies and stable flies
• Kills ticks and mosquitoes on contact
• Wipe-on or spray-on application
• Use as a spot treatment or total body protection spray
• Horses can be ridden or worked immediately after application
• Registered stock remedy with DAFF (Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries)
• Available in 750ml trigger-spray or 5L refill

How to Use

Apply as a spot treatment spray on problem areas (face, ears, belly, legs), or use as a total body protection spray for full coverage before a ride or turnout. Safe for immediate riding or work after application — no waiting period required. For sensitive skin, wipe on with a sponge or cloth rather than spraying directly.

Spray vs Wipe — Which Application to Use

• Full-body spray — fastest method for routine summer turnout. Hold the bottle 20–30cm from the coat and mist with the lay of the hair
• Wipe-on with a cloth — best for the face, ears, eyes and around the muzzle, where spraying frightens most horses and risks the product getting into eyes
• Spot treatment — for ticks on the belly, sheath or chest, apply directly to the tick and surrounding skin with a soaked cotton pad
• Pre-ride application — apply 5–10 minutes before tacking up so the product settles and doesn't transfer onto the saddle pad
• For sensitive or thin-skinned horses — always wipe rather than spray, and patch-test on a small patch of skin first
