"This roll on is great for keeping flies off while you ride or if you can not use a fly mask. Our fly problem is horrible, we are located between a beef operation and a dairy. This is one of the few products that actually works."

"The ever so familiar battle of horse person vs flies. Flies especially in the summer are a huge hassle and very bothersome not only to the horse but the horse lover. While I spray and spray and spray my horse's body, the part I tend to want to spray most is his face. I have found myself spraying it on my hand or on a towel which usually leaves the spray either slipping through my fingers or just staying on the towel. The Roll-On Repellent was a must, especially for it's price! A great add on to a 70 dollar order or for a little barn gift. It repels flies very well (Sure, a few still find their way through, but it's one of the best I've found yet) It does not rush out very fast, so you don't have to worry about a fly spray shower. I would highly recommend wiping or washing your horse's face off before applying this. The roller ball can get dirty and it can get hair caught in it. While it does not "attract" dirt, it can get some lodged in if your horse is a little muddy. While I wouldn't say you have to give your horse a facial before applying, I would do a little brush or curry to get anything that could get stuck off. It's a much more relaxing application. My horse is still a young little boy and he's very sensitive about towels and such on his face and around his ears. The container is small and compact, so it's very easy for him to see what I'm doing and not have to wrestle him. It's also great for bug-a-boo areas such as near the hooves or in tiny areas that fly spray can't reach as easily."

"I started using this on my Fjord who has a sensitivity to flies and I needed to get her face well covered with repellant. It rolled on easily and doesn't drip at all so no worries about it getting into sensitive eyes. Did wonders for her ears as well. I'll always have a bottle of this roll on around from now on."

"This roll-on has been around forever, and it's no surprise. The little bottle lasts a long time, it rolls on nicely, and works great. Perfect for ears and around the face when my mare needs a break from her fly mask."

"We have minis. With the fly problem in Florida, I have found that roll-on really protects their eyes, especially the white, blue eyed guy.
The Pasos are also treated. The product is easy to apply and doesn't have a strong smell. The boys are sensative to smells.

"This is the first roll-on fly repellent I have used so I am not able to compare it to any others. I have one horse who has very runny eyes and I thought this would be particularly helpful to him. And it has worked really well! I have noticed that when I use the roll-on he comes in from the pasture with a cleaner face and eye area so he must have fewer flies, etc. bothering him."

"I switched to this from Endure and this works much much better and actually lasts a LOT longer too... not just on the horses but you need a lot less so it saves you a ton in the long run. I use this in conjunction with the spray which I use on the horses bodies and around the barn."

"Before a trail ride, I spray my horse's body with another fly repellent product and then use this roll-on product on his face (ears, forehead, beneath eyes). I've found it effective in keeping the most annoying NJ face pests at bay (gnats and deer flies). It is easy and quick to use and much less messy than dealing with the fly-spray-on-a-towel method for his face. It doesn't seem to lose effectiveness on a longer ride; in fact, sweat just seems to spread it for a wider distribution. (For this reason I don't apply it above my horse's eyes so the sweat doesn't carry it down into them.) I wouldn't rely on it for turnout because it's not waterproof and too expensive to apply to the entire horse, but for my intended use (face protection on trail rides) it's great."

"I use this in my horse's ears, one little stripe, and none of those annoying little gnats. I've tried other products that claimed to be similar, when my local tack store discontinued this product, but none of them worked as well."
