Smart Grooming Buzz Off Summer Spray for Horses
Description
Smart Grooming Buzz Off Summer Spray - Plant-Based Fly & Midge Repellent
Smart Grooming Buzz Off Summer Spray is a plant-based insect repellent spray for horses and ponies, formulated with Citronella Oil to help protect the coat from flies, midges and other airborne pests. It is best for riders who need a daily, everyday-use fly spray through the peak summer months, whether their horse lives out at grass or comes in to a stable.
The formula is concentrated but gentle, and carries a distinctive, pleasant aroma that stays noticeable without being overpowering. For fuller coverage across the season, it is designed to be paired with Smart Grooming Citronella Shampoo.
