Gentle Protection. Long-Lasting Results. Naturally.

Designed for horses and ponies who suffer through fly season — and for owners tired of using harsh sprays that evaporate, sting, or stress out their animals — this all-natural balm provides long-lasting protection from flies, midges, and biting insects.

Our beeswax-based formula is applied directly to the coat using a soft sponge, cloth, or brush, creating a lasting layer that sticks to the hair without needing constant reapplication. Unlike sprays, this balm doesn’t evaporate or run off with sweat. It absorbs into the coat, delivering hours of effective repellent and leaving behind a subtle conditioning effect that enhances the natural shine of the hair.

Perfect for nervous or spray-shy horses, this balm is a calm, quiet alternative — no sudden sounds, no wet shocks, just soft, natural application.

Why Choose This Balm?

Beeswax-based – adheres to coat and works for longer than sprays
No insecticides – avoids chemical exposure, toxicity, and resistance issues
Kind to nervous horses – silent, touch-based application
Natural conditioning – softens and protects the coat
Handmade in the UK – developed by The Bee Fairy using ethical, eco-conscious methods
Packaged in a recyclable aluminium tin

Comes in a 250g tin. Larger tubs available on request.

How to Use

Apply sparingly using a sponge, soft cloth, or soft bristle brush. Focus on areas prone to fly attention – around the head, neck, chest, and flanks. For best results, use the same sponge/cloth each time, as balm build up enhances future applications. One treatment often lasts all day depending on conditions.
