Good luck with her.  I've got a mare that is the same way.   I've yet to find a spray that will help her.  Deep woods off or a sheet soaked with fly/mosquito spary work the best.  I've given up on fly sprays. 

I just checked your profile.  You know my mare.  Wrangler.  Did you see her chest?  Or was it not all rubbed off and lumpy when you kept her for me?  The flys (and this heat cycle) are killing her.  You have mosquitoes over there?

Poor Lilly.  Try the OFF.  It has really helped Wrangler.  Her face lost hair and all down her neck and chest. 

I love those suprise visits.  My mother-in-law is in El Paso and calls as she gets into town to see if were home.  You would figure with gas as high as it is she would call before she leaves home.  I hope you moms feeling better. 

Were going to El Paso tomorrow.  Some friends from our last station are there.  He has to get his K-9 instructor recertification.   

Wrangler seems to be back to normal.
