Flies!

What all the best dressed ponies are wearing this year to combat the flies!

A couple of hours after this picture, however, the fly fringe was trashed and in many pieces!!!


Despite looking lovely in his fly fringe, Merlin also disposed of his, but thoughtfully left it hanging from a branch in his paddock!!!

I had bug bonnets for Fahly and Maggie (Itsy said NO THANKS!) They did help. I've just loaned Maggie's to the donkey down the road who has a sore face and needs the flies kept off whilst it heals. If you go to the New Forest EVERY field pony wears a fly mask because of New Forest Eye and the fly problem. Have you tried Avon Skin-so-Soft bath oil spray for flies? It is BRILLIANT and British troops are issued with it for use in the jungle! It really DOES work.
