I'm coming in on this subject late...haven't read every post, sorry if this was brought up. Earlier this week I gave a spray bottle filled with Brooks Bradley's EIS lotion recipe to my boss for her horse that had one of those nasty bites. They sprayed her 2x per day for a few days and there was huge improvement and very quick. She and her vet were very impressed!

War Paint from Farnam is a very good fly repellant. One stripe down the nose, one along the back will keep them off for a week.

A friend's horses are just being tortured this year. After being bitten the bites swell and bleed. If there are enough bites in an area then the whole area swells. Thanks for any help you can give. PT
