- BETA NOPS and UFAS accredited, suitable for horses competing under FEI rules
Forget Flies In-Feed Solution is a daily feed supplement for the horse that will not stand still for a fly spray. The active compounds are absorbed through the gut wall and carried in the bloodstream to the skin, where research suggests they may make the horse less appealing to flies and other biting insects. One 25ml serve a day, stirred through hard feed, and you are done.
It is garlic based, but it is not straight garlic. The polysulphides are standardised batch to batch, which is the difference between a supplement that performs the same every feed and one that varies with whatever garlic went into the mix. Zinc, seaweed and cider vinegar are in there as well to support skin and coat condition.
Allow up to 21 days of feeding before you judge how it is working. It can be fed on its own, or alongside a fly spray on the days that really need it.

FAQ
All your questions, answered.
Not sure what rug your horse needs right now? Our free Horse Rug Forecaster checks your local weather and tells you what rug weight your horse needs today, tonight and over the next 3 days. It works anywhere in New Zealand and adjusts for clipped horses and horses that feel the cold.
The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. Humans need it much warmer, at around 25–30 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, a healthy unclipped horse with shelter usually doesn't need a winter rug until it feels colder than about 5 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition. For advice based on your local forecast, try the Horse Rug Forecaster.
