Do your flies go away if it gets windy or rainy? ours do.

ecurbh and I decided we're going to camp, with the horses, here on our property this weekend, kindof a shakedown cruise, to make sure we've got all the gear. It's been several years since I've packed everything, and I don't even remember what I've got anymore. And I want to highline the horses for the night to make sure we've got it all together. It might take time until Bay will relax in the presence of the campsite blue tarps and the very frightening ~tent~.

Anyway, we'll post pics, when we come back to civilization ;~D

The wind doesn't get rid of them, when it is raining, I think they go away, but they come back as soon as it stops.

Sounds like fun:), and probably a smart thing to do. I've been meaning to get my trailer moved to the arena so I can get Harley use to it. I'd like to tie him up all night to it here before I go to my competition. He did fine last year tied all night to a post. But he doesn't like being tied to a trailer.

LOL! It's a good thing you're gonna be camping in the pasture coz if the wind gets up and that tarp gets to flappin', Bay'd be in the next county if he wasn't. ;o)

Flies getting bad here too. So far I just spray them down. I spray a wipe and do their faces too. The owner has some masks she wants to sell me. We'll see. I don't like to put more on the horses than I have to.
