Keeping Flies off your Horse
Here are three easy ways to keep flies off your horse.
Reward Your Obedient Dog
When out walking with your dog off the lead, keep a small plastic pot containing cat biscuits. As you call your dog to return, shake the pot, when your dog returns to you, reward him/her by feeding a couple of biscuits.
A Playpen for the Puppy
If you get a puppy, keep it in an old baby playpen with newspapers layered over an old shower curtain or other waterproof mat. Then the puppy can stay in the room with you without causing "accidents" on the carpet.
