I recently purchased an OTTB and am moving him from CA to TX. He has sweet itch and gets welts & scars from fly bites. I’m trying to get ahead of it before getting him here, as we have a A LOT of flies at the barn.

I have a sheet with turtle neck, but I’m not sure that’s a good solution during our humid summers.

I also have a belly band, boots, and mask for turn out if it’s too hot for the sheets.

Obviously fly spray and SWAT…fan in the stall, fly bags and traps hung up..

What else can I do?

Any good supplement or allergy medications/allergy shots I could or should request from my vet?

Please help!!🥲🙏🏼
