AND THIS IN FROM A MAINE HORSE OWNER.....if you have been to Maine in BUG season you KNOW they have vicious BLACK FLIES that leave HOLES where they bite.

We're getting into bug season soon and it seems as though the horses and cows suffer as much as we do. The flies can be terrible for them, and being good owners, we want to ease their discomfort.
Here is a recipe that a friend gave us last summer that has worked quite well on both horses and cattle.
1 gallon water
½ cup Murphy’s Soap
¼ cup vinegar (we use homemade apple cider vinegar in ours, but regular vinegar works fine, too)
Place in spray bottle and apply as needed, taking care around the eyes.
