Actually I think Janice is talking about TIvar, we do not have much of a fly problem here and I usually just spray some on a brush and brush it in. Sometimes in the fall, there are flies that bother the horses and I sprayed the legs before I rode but do not remember Tivar being jumpy about it. Stella hated to be sprayed and I got her when she was 11 and now she tolerates it but I sure do not remember Tivar being jumpy. He did not like to be hosed off for a bit but overcame that. Ann
