"It's a topical fly and insect repellent spray with an unknown formulation, as no ingredients are disclosed on the product page."

Similar to Any equestrian fly spray (e.g., Absorbine UltraShield, Pyranha Equine, or basic citronella-based sprays available at feed stores for $10-20 NZD)
Real benefit May repel flies and insects if it contains standard repellent ingredients, though effectiveness depends on active ingredient type and concentration—which are not disclosed.
The catch You're paying $24 for a fly spray with zero ingredient transparency, so you have no way to know if you're getting premium 'healing oils' or just basic mineral oil with fragrance.

Bottom line: This is a reasonably-priced fly spray from a legitimate retailer, but the complete lack of ingredient transparency makes it impossible to verify the claimed benefits or assess product quality.

Consumer advice

Before purchasing, contact Savvy Touch or HorseSports NZ directly to request a full ingredient list and concentrations. If they won't provide this, the product is not worth buying—you can't verify you're getting what's advertised. For comparison, check other equestrian fly sprays that DO list ingredients (e.g., those containing citronella, eucalyptus, or lavender at specified concentrations). The humorous branding is fun, but it shouldn't override the need for ingredient transparency on any topical product applied to animals or humans.
