Consumer advice
If you like the product's humor and it works for your horse, the price ($24 NZD for 250ml) is in line with other equine fly sprays. However, don't buy it expecting superior performance—you're primarily paying for the branding. Compare it directly to Absorbine Ultrashield or Pyranha at similar price points. Always test on a small area first to ensure your horse doesn't have sensitivity to the essential oils.
