We have used apple cider vinegar as a rinse (1/2 galon vinegar mixed with 1 galon water for 9 horses) after a bath or hose off with our horses for years.
Not only does it repel flies but it brings out a great shine on our horses.
They know it helps and take a deep breath after being rinsed with vinegar.
The mare in this picture is Ask For Bella, a 26 year old thoroughbred.
