"Is there a better way of getting rid of flies?"

 
 

Dear Keith...

Friday, March 17, 2006

Hi Keith, I was at Madison NC and was your shadow.....lol. I have the tri colored paint that I had at that time never ridden. This past wednesday at horsey school I got to ride my filly Arizona for the first time. My trainer was really impressed with my rein handling . I would have to owe that to you and Patrick. Walking around with you and seeing up close how things are done ....and not done ....really paid off for me. Me and my horse did great and I want to thank you for being such a big help. Don't be surprised if you see me and her and Charlie of course at the next clinic you have near us. I am really geared up to do some riding again..and soon! You guys are super!!! I am moving my horse to my house and out of my trainers barn. I have mosquitos pretty bad at dusk and would like to keep the fly population down also. Is there anything that you would recommend to put in her food that wouldn't hurt her? Or is there a better way of getting rid of these pest? I know about the cleaning of the stall daily and the paddock twice weekly.....right? Thank you for your time. Thanks again!! Rhonda T

Fellow trainers seem to have had good luck spiking their horse's feed with garlic.
