Well flies dont like mint so I dont see why not!! Cant see it lasting long on their skin and wouldnt it be a bit sticky in this weather!! worth a try though.
Use baby oil to dilute it (one third Listerine two thirds baby oil) this sticks to the coat and skin much better. I use this as an anti itch on manes and tails and have done for years n years!! It's fly repelling side effects good too though!! I'm actually using the blue flavour at the moment (it was on offer!!!!) but only on the chestnuts as it will stain a grey goat, I found the origional flavour stained the grey also!!

Baby Oil? in a fly repellant, are you being serious. On a sunny day it would be like putting your horse in a deep fat fryer... I would not recommend this.
