Key Ingredients –
Garlic:
Feeding garlic as a fly repellent is not a new idea, and works because high sulphur compounds in garlic are released through the skin via natural body secretions such as sweat, producing an invisible barrier that flies find repellent. Whilst they may still be present around the horse, they seldom land on the skin, and this significantly reduces the level of irritation normally seen.
Linseed Oil:
Linseed oil is rich in Omega-3 oil and can help in producing a healthy glossy coat, healthy skin and boost the immune system. A horse’s natural diet can be low in Omega-3 so horses often need an additional source to provide these essential fatty acids for optimum health.
Vitamin E & Selenium:
Imbalances in pro-oxidant production and antioxidant capacity have been linked to ageing, muscle fatigue during exercise and to a number of diseases in horses (DJ Marlin, CE Dunnett and CM Deaton, 2005).
Antioxidants:
A combination or powerful antioxidants such as Vitamin E, Selenium, chelated Copper and Zinc are included to support and maintain a healthy immune system, which maximises the ability to support all round health and vitality.

We’re absolutely thrilled with the Horslyx range and the difference it’s made to our horses
One of our favourite products is the Horslyx Garlic. We’ve noticed a significant reduction in flies and other biting insects bothering the horses during the summer months since we introduced it. It’s made a real difference to their comfort and has saved us a fortune on fly sprays.
