I'm happy to report that they actually do work ...
... right up until the first rousing game of Bite-the-Face.
These lasted 2½ days.
If you have a horse that is pastured alone, or kept stalled, or if you have horses that just stand around and look at each other, I highly recommend them. If you have rowdy, rough-and-tumble geldings like mine, you may as well not bother.
And that's why we don't have anything nice around here.

Now see, this is good to know. I was considering buying some, but my horses would tear them up too.
Hmm can you take them off and put them on again? Might be nice for riding if so.
I couldn't keep the horses who were by themselves from managing to tear them off and up. They did work when they well when they were on.
Crytal, you can take them off and put them back on-they velcro
Hmm great to know =) Probably would work great for riding. Thanks Leah =)
I wonder if the goats would eat them....
You could only use them when you ride, but you'd have to store them in a sealed plastic bag. It's just a strip of foam soaked in citronella encased in plastic and nylon.
You could probably accomplish the same thing on a ride by soaking a bandanna and tying it around the horse's neck, though I'm certain the oil would stain the bridle.
I did have these once. Lily could really use it, thanks for the reminder.
Ain't nobody getting it off her. She's very grouchy lately.
I know exactly what you mean!
We don't have fly problems until late July/early August and they only last a few weeks.
But those few weeks can be horrible. Apache is allergic to most fly sprays and get burned, welts, loses hair and is just terrible sensitive.
This collar might be something that could work for her to keep those flies out of her eyes.
Are the poisonous if horses ingest any of the collar?
Thanks for the review,

You said they attach with velcro. Will they come undone or rip easily if the horse snags it on something?
Lisa, it's just citronella. Mine obviously were tearing them up and lived to "tell the tale." Nobody looked the worse for having chewed on them.
Dreaming, yes, I believe they would let go. Never underestimate the power of a 1100+ lb. critter against anything. That said, the velcro is strong enough that if you need to grab a horse by the collar, it will hold up. I hung onto Daltrey by the collar while spraying the rest of his body with fly spray.
Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for beginner blog writers? I'd certainly appreciate
it.

Hey there, I'm a new blogger coming from Rockhampton Shopping Fair, Australia who found you on http://barndoortagz.blogspot.com/. Would you have any advice for those exploring blogging? I'm working on beginning my own website soon but
I don't really know where to get started. Do you think I should start off with a free site like Pixie or shell out some money into a pay site? There are so many choices out there that I'm absolutely overwhelmed.
.. What would you say?

Greetings, I'm Dena and I've recently started to get into what you're speaking about. I am not sure where you’re getting your facts, but solid job even so. I really should commit some more time learning and understanding much more. Thanks for this: this is just what I was looking for for my search.

Gday. I noticed your site title, "Blogger: Leah Fry - Barn Door Tagz - Horses and Life" doesn't really
reflect the content of your web site. When creating your website title, do you believe it's best to write it for SEO or for your readers?
This is something I've been struggling with simply because I want good search
rankings but at the same time I want the best quality for
my website visitors.

I think the admin of this web page is actually working hard in support of his site, since here every stuff is quality based data.
