So You're Ready To Switch To Our Natural Fly Spray For Your Horse. Here Is Everything You Need To Know Before You Order
18 questions. Honest answers. Just everything you need to decide if this is right for your horse.
What is SHE Fly Spray?
It's a 100% natural fly repellent for horses — built entirely from essential oils, carrier oils, and plant-based ingredients.
No chemicals. No petroleum. No synthetic fragrances.
You get a full bottle, made in the US, shipped directly to your door. It repels flies and other pests while conditioning your horse's coat at the same time.
What does it actually do for my horse?
Picture your horse right now in peak fly season.
Stomping. Tail swishing constantly. Skin twitching with every landing. Ears pinned. Completely distracted and honestly, miserable.
SHE Fly Spray changes that picture.
Flies stop landing. Your horse settles. The constant stomping and flinching stops and they can actually stand still, focus, and be comfortable in their own skin.
And while it's repelling pests, the essential oil blend is conditioning the skin underneath. No greasy residue. No smell that makes you gag. Just a healthier coat and a calmer horse.
How does it work?
Most fly sprays create a surface-level chemical barrier.
The problem? That barrier sits on top of your horse's skin — trapping heat, stripping oils, causing irritation.
SHE Fly Spray works differently. The essential oil blend absorbs INTO the skin rather than coating the surface. Which means:
- The repellent effect stays active longer.
- The skin gets conditioned in the process.
- No greasy buildup. No residue.
Flies detect certain plant-based compounds and instinctively avoid them. The essential oils in SHE Fly Spray are specifically selected because they trigger that avoidance response — no synthetic chemistry required.
Nature already figured this out.

Every ingredient has a job. Nothing is here just to fill a bottle.
- Natural Essential Oil Blend — the repellent core. Flies avoid these compounds instinctively.
- Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Oil — lightweight carrier oil with natural antibacterial properties that actively promotes coat health.
- Vegetable Glycerine — seals moisture into skin, keeps coat from drying out.
- Witch Hazel — natural astringent that helps the formula absorb cleanly.
- White Distilled Vinegar — amplifies the repellent effect and balances skin pH.
- Sodium Borate — natural preservative that keeps the formula stable.
You can read every ingredient on this label. You know exactly what's going on your horse's skin. No petroleum. No synthetic chemicals. Nothing you can't pronounce.
Okay, but does it ACTUALLY work on big horse flies?
Let's address this head-on because it's the first thing most horse owners wonder.
"Natural" has gotten a bad reputation in this category. There are a lot of watered-down essential oil sprays that smell nice and do almost nothing against serious fly pressure. That's a completely fair concern.
SHE Fly Spray is not that.
The formula was developed specifically for horses dealing with real pest pressure — including horse flies, deer flies, gnats, and mosquitoes. Not just the easy ones.
The difference is concentration and combination. The essential oils aren't just a splash of something pleasant-smelling — they're selected and blended specifically because they're effective against the flies that actually matter.
The standard for this formula was simple: it had to work well enough for a Grand Prix competitor to trust it on her own horses. That's a higher bar than most "natural" products are built to.
If Dianna couldn't trust it on her competition horses, it wouldn't exist.
Who created SHE Fly Spray and why?
This came from Dianna, founder of Sport Horse Essentials and a former Grand Prix competitor.
She didn't develop this from a lab. She developed it from a stall.
Like most of you, Dianna spent years applying chemical fly sprays to her horses until the day she walked into a freshly sprayed stall and nearly choked on the fumes.
That was the moment.
She'd spent years being mindful about what she put in and on her own body. Why was she applying something she couldn't even breathe around directly onto her horses every single day?
She built Sport Horse Essentials with one non-negotiable rule: no chemicals. Ever.
SHE Fly Spray is the result — a formula she's personally used on her own competition horses, tested through real fly seasons, and refined until it worked the way she needed it to.
This isn't a product made by a chemist who's never touched a horse. It's made by a horsewoman who was tired of the alternative.
How is this different from chemical fly sprays?
Chemical fly sprays work by essentially poisoning the environment around your horse — including their skin.
Most are petroleum-based. That coating sits on the surface of the coat, trapping heat and moisture underneath. Over time, it breaks down the skin's natural barrier. You get dryness. Irritation. Sometimes the kind of "mystery skin crud" that has you scratching your head wondering what's wrong.
And every time you spray, you're breathing it in too.
SHE Fly Spray does the opposite. The essential oils absorb into the skin rather than coating it. Several of those oils have natural antibacterial properties — which means they're actively supporting coat health while repelling flies.
You go from a spray that damages the skin over time — to one that conditions it.
And you stop choking in the stall.
Stop spraying chemicals on your horse — and on yourself — every single day.
Order Our Natural Fly Spray Now →I've tried "natural" fly sprays before. They didn't work. Why is this different?
Fair. Most "natural" fly sprays in this category are underpowered.
Low concentration of essential oils, cut heavily with water. The result smells nice for about 20 minutes and does very little against serious fly pressure.
SHE Fly Spray was built to actually perform, not just check a "natural" box on a label.
The formula uses a concentrated essential oil blend combined with carrier oils that help it penetrate and persist on the skin. That's what gives it staying power that most natural alternatives lack.
It also uses White Distilled Vinegar as an additional repellent layer — which most "clean" sprays skip entirely because it's not as marketable as exotic oils. It just works.
"If Dianna couldn't trust it on her competition horses, it wouldn't exist. The formula was held to that standard before it was sold to anyone."
Could my current fly spray be making my horse's skin problems WORSE?
If your horse deals with rain rot, skin sensitivity, or unexplained coat issues — this is worth taking seriously.
Here's the problem with petroleum-based fly sprays: they don't let skin breathe.
The petroleum film traps moisture underneath the coat. That warm, damp environment under a chemical barrier is exactly where skin issues like rain rot thrive.
And if your horse already has sensitive skin, synthetic chemicals can strip the coat's natural oils — triggering dryness, flaking, and irritation that looks a lot like a "mystery skin condition."
You're applying fly spray to protect your horse. But if what you're applying is breaking down their skin barrier, you may be making the underlying problem worse with every single application.
SHE Fly Spray doesn't create that problem. The Sesamum Indicum Oil and Vegetable Glycerine actively support skin moisture and health — instead of stripping it.
If your horse has chronic skin issues, this is one of the first things worth changing.
Is it safe for sensitive horses?
Yes — and it's especially well-suited for them.
No synthetic chemicals. No petroleum. No harsh preservatives. Everything in the formula is plant-based and specifically chosen to be gentle on skin.
The Sesamum Indicum Oil and Vegetable Glycerine are both known for their skin-conditioning properties. Witch Hazel is a mild, natural astringent — nothing aggressive.
If your horse is already reactive to chemical-based products, SHE Fly Spray is designed to be the safe alternative — not just a different product that causes a different problem.
As with any new product, if your horse has known allergies or severe skin conditions, do a small patch test first.
How do I apply it — and how often?
Simple.
Shake well before each use. Spray directly onto the coat in sections — body, neck, legs, and face area (avoiding eyes and nostrils directly).
Because the oils absorb into the skin rather than sitting on top, a thorough even application is all you need. You don't need to drench the coat.
How often? In heavy fly season, most horse owners apply daily or before every ride. In lighter conditions, every other day works well. You'll find your rhythm.
There are no chemical residue concerns — so reapply as needed without overthinking it.
Can I use it before I ride or on show days?
Yes.
No chemical residues. No petroleum coatings. No synthetic substances to worry about.
The oils absorb into the coat and leave no greasy film — which also means no transfer onto your hands, tack, or equipment the way chemical sprays can.
Spray it on before you tack up. Your horse stays comfortable. You stay focused on the ride.
Will it work for MY horse specifically?
SHE Fly Spray works across breeds, coat types, and sensitivity levels.
Whether you have a thin-skinned Thoroughbred who reacts to everything, a heavier-coated warmblood, or anything in between — the formula is designed to absorb effectively regardless of coat thickness.
It's also built for real conditions. If you're dealing with serious summer fly pressure, aggressive horse flies, or a horse who's difficult to manage because of insect irritation — that's exactly the situation this was developed for.
The most relevant variable is consistency. This isn't a once-a-week solution. Daily or near-daily application during peak fly season gets you the best results.
What are other horse owners saying?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Can't get enough of these products! My trainer was so impressed at how shiny my lease horse stayed all winter & through a very muddy spring using the coat spray. The waterless shampoo works like a charm for removing sweat marks & other stains. So far, we're liking the fly spray too. It's a great one to have in the barn if you can't/don't want to use harsh chemicals. The hoof oil & fungus spray are summer must-haves as well. Of course, one of the best things about SHE is how amazing everything smells! I seriously cannot recommend them enough!” - Steph Carr
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Only fly spray I use in Florida now” - Ricki Godsey

“The products are amazing! I feel so much better using products that aren't loaded with nasty chemicals - and they WORK!” Ashley Vagts
How long does a bottle last?
It depends on the size you choose.
The 32oz bottle typically lasts 3–6 weeks for one horse applying daily through fly season — perfect if you want to try the formula first or only need lighter coverage.
The 1 gallon is a serious supply. For most horse owners applying daily, a gallon will take you through an entire summer — sometimes beyond, depending on how many horses you're managing and how you apply. One horse, one season. That's what you're looking at.
If you're managing a multi-horse barn, the gallon gives you meaningful coverage without reordering every few weeks.
Why does SHE Fly Spray cost $149?
Because what's inside it costs more than water and chemicals.
Standard fly sprays are cheap to make. Petroleum, synthetic pyrethrin, water — commodity chemistry. The cost is low. The ingredient list reflects that.
SHE Fly Spray is built from concentrated essential oils and premium carrier oils. Sesamum Indicum Oil. Vegetable Glycerine. Witch Hazel. Real ingredients, in real concentrations, doing real things.
You're also not locked into a small bottle that runs out in a few weeks. The gallon option gives you a full season supply for one horse — at a better per-oz price than buying multiple 32oz bottles.
The gallon works out to less than $1.65 a day for a full fly season — and you never run out mid-summer.
Less than $1.65 a day. One season. No chemicals.
Order Our Natural Fly Spray Now →Can't I just grab a $20 chemical spray and call it a day?
You can. And you might have been doing exactly that for years.
But here's the real cost of that $20 bottle.
You're applying synthetic chemicals to your horse's skin every single day. You're breathing those fumes every time you spray in an enclosed space. And if your horse deals with skin sensitivity, rain rot, or coat issues — that cheap spray may be the cause.
There's also the math. A $20 bottle runs out fast. Multiple bottles per season. Add it up across a full summer and you've spent more than you think — on a product that's actively working against the thing you're trying to protect.
SHE Fly Spray starts at $42 for a 32oz bottle and $149 for a full gallon. One purchase. No chemicals. A coat that gets better over time instead of worse.
The $20 bottle feels cheap — until you factor in what it's actually costing you.
