Insect protection for horses: natural and effective solutions

Insect protection is a major issue for the well-being of horses, especially during the warm season. Flies, taons and other parasites can not only cause discomfort, but can also cause more serious health problems such as allergies or skin infections.

How can you effectively protect your horse from insects?

Optimal protection requires a comprehensive approach combining several solutions. Natural repellents, enriched in essential oils like lemonella, geranium or eucalyptus, offer an effective barrier while respecting the sensitive skin of equidae. These natural formulations allow daily use without risk of irritation, even in the most sensitive areas such as ears or stomach.

Critical periods and sensitive areas to protect

Insects are particularly active:

  • Early morning and late day
  • In wetlands and woodlands
  • During hot and stormy periods

The priority areas for protection are:

  • The ears and eye contours
  • Belly and genitals
  • Members, particularly exposed to flies
  • Neck and withers

For optimal protection, it is advisable to combine different anti-insect methods for horses: Repellent sprays, fly masks and environmental solutions such as insect traps.

You can also use a shampoo that will repel insects.

Regularity in the application of products remains essential, especially during peak insect activity.

A properly protected horse will be more serene in the meadow as at work. It is important to note that natural products require more frequent applications but offer the advantage of being more respectful of the health of your horse and the environment. For maximum efficiency, focus on natural and equine specific products.
