I feel so sorry for all the horses and you guys having to deal with all those flies!!

[@SeekerKC]

*FLIES* --Last year, I watched a video from Gold Shaw Farms titled *"How A Farmer Won A War Against Flies."* He tested out a number of ways to reduce the flies that were plaguing his farm & cattle. The _clear_ winner were these sticky traps he made by wrapping wide-strip fly paper around garbage cans (the size most of us would have in our kitchens), & placing them around his farm. I've been wondering if he'll be doing the same this year. It really might be worth a watch. Good luck!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Willing to try anything at this point lol

[@Lonesome__Dove]

I watch morgans channel regularly and watched that video. That method worked really good for him and he had ridiculous amounts of flies because of the ponds and all the duck and geese poop.

[@SeekerKC]

@@Lonesome__Doveikr?? The number of flies that he trapped were no joke! I don't think that it took very long for him to notice a decrease in them, too, but I can't recall how many days it was. I really enjoy his channel, too.

[@elainethomas9532]

Of course she's aggravated with the fly's!

[@ColoMommy234]

What about building a bat house to encourage bats to live on your farm? We barely have bugs around my house with the bats living nearby

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

We want to get purple Martin bird houses built by our barn. They are suppose to be really helpful.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

I have purple Martin houses. And some bats have been roosting in the barn. I’m not against it but you have never seen flies like here

[@PurdueAlum01]

Oh Disney World has a lot of Purple Martin bird houses and has good info posted and some videos about it. You can take a tour of them while there to learn about all the good they do.

[@T-J-C]

Bats, martis, swallows, bluebirds, free range chickens all can help with insect issues

[@ccasey1904]

Turkeys eat a lot of bugs too but not sure if they eat flying bugs. Those horseflies sure are nasty and their bites leave big welts.

[@jeanlamberty6490]

Think she will turn out a great girl.....time, love and patience.....!!

[@greatdanelady6956]

Thank you for explaining your reasoning behind naming this beautiful girl Karen! I’ve proudly carried the name for 69 years and can’t explain enough the shame, embarrassment and anxiety I’ve experienced since learning about this new connotation attributed to my name. The weird startled looks I’ve received when people asked for my name at Dr. appointments and whatnot. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for your story about your Aunt. Love your channel and am very thankful I recently found you. God bless to everyone there (two and four legged) 😊❤❤❤🙏

[@heartsaliveart]

She is a real beauty! Great job!

[@karenkernell9405]

Well!!! From one Karen to another I heartily approve of your new name!! It’s a beautiful name and I’ve always liked it. Congratulations little Karen, you’re beautiful and pure of heart.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

❤️❤️❤️

[@swolthuis3904]

You might want to give them granulated garlic in their feed. I feed 2-3tbls. My neighbor actually started to feed it to his herd after noticing I had very few flies. There is a marsh below the back of the property and the same neighbor collects old tires for some reason. I also have started feeding it year round, Great for skin and joints too.

[@j.elizabeth4621]

Petting on the head is how horses play which may be why she’s more mouthy. Playing with their nose / muzzle helps them engage more. Not all mouthiness is biting, she’s probably confused because you’re giving her indication you want to play.

[@mariefraher8725]

She is so darn gorgeous and smart! Hope you feel better soon. Happy you are honoring your Aunt. Hello, Karen. As a child, I had a stunningly beautiful neighbor next door named Karen. She was as kind as she was beautiful.

[@elizabethwebermccumber237]

Please don't take criticism from people who don't know the whole story, nature of the horse, etc. I have watched you long enough to know you are talented and a gift from God towards beautiful horses who need you. I mean this. Don't defend your way with horses, people are not there and it always comes to a beautiful end!! Thank you, I enjoy your videos.

[@RICHARDHUNTER-e7p]

If you put used motor oil on the walls of the barn, it helps to drive the flies out. Crude oil is even better. It's not my secret it's my great grandfather's

[@CM-xn6xc]

The way she opens her eyes wide when she's not sure about the situation is cute!

[@missykowalewski]

It’s funny looking at the other horse looking in at what’s going on. Probably sees the training and is like “oh first graders”.

[@vernaxxx8940]

She's a sparky, intelligent filly. She'll come around and be lovely.

[@gillfish6399]

Natural fly mozzie etc repellent. Put old coffee grounds , a couple of tbsn , old cooking oil in a glass jar , stir to mix. Get bottle top(metal) make a hole in centre, soak string in oil poke in hole in top so hangs in oil , place top on top of oil coffee mix and light wick,string and watch fly mozzie take off. Try it it works.

[@sharonrobinson886]

Just thinking. If you can brush her, you can put fly solution on a mitt and rub her down with it. Maybe?

[@ellenvald7991]

I am sure this horse will reward you for the efforts you are taking in making friends with her and the training.🙂

[@mousiebrown1747]

The poor sweetheart! Her rolling eyes tell you all you need to know. She is BEAUTIFUL, and I know she will turn out fine after some people-time.

[@jenfarrow6941]

She's beautiful

[@ronallen6578]

JR, You know that horses are much like humans. Trust is earned. It's not given!! You don't trust someone until you get to know them. This little one is no different. Time you spend today will pay 10x tomorrow. Belated happy birthday. What are you, 30??😅😅😅

[@grammadee94]

Happy Birthday!

[@christinanielson1764]

I know the constant eek eek eek put a lot of people off, but guinea fowl are Hella wheels for flies. Ducks are good too but with that much water around, they may wander off. Oh and you can invite them to dinner also.

[@elizabethwebermccumber237]

Wonderful session! Now, go take care of yourself!

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Here in Newfoundland we have such bad blackflies in the summer that caribou and even moose are basically drained to the point of death. Bugs can be unrelenting! Good luck with that fight! Happy, happy birthday to you! Fine looking young filly. I'm sure you'll soon have her turned into a sweetheart! What a smart girl! The flies were making her more skittish too. ❤

[@ronallen6578]

How about calling her Fiesty!!!

[@gwenboswell840]

I got chills and teared up a bit when she came to you after being unclipped. Just amazing how fast you won her trust. OK back to the rest of the video.

[@emmajetter6635]

Happy Birthday JR! 🎉 Karen is a beautiful name for that filly. Good choice. I loved your comment about how things don't get done in an orderly way without Emery! ❤

[@samanthadillard2853]

It was really nice to see her stop dancing after you sprayed the fly spray on I bet you she'll remember hey that spray bottle made me feel a lot better and it'll never be an issue plus is quick as she learns she probably put that stuff together almost instantly

[@yodaman173]

You know/ feel that you’re excellent trainer.

[@jossetteking4967]

Great job, JR! Progress is certainly being made. She is a beauty, but then all of them are. Blessings to you!

She is beautiful!

[@adorablerepurposals6745]

Ps. Happy birthday!!!!!!

[@jenniferlehman326]

You get one of 3 reactions. 1. Fight, 2. Flight, or 3. Freeze. And she was doing Fight to protect herself in a new environment. But she's obviously a very sensitive and sensible filly. She learns very quickly. After the fly spray went on, she was unsure of what was on her legs, but she still did what you asked of her. From the small breakdowns they have, like when you touched her flank with the lunge whip, that was a breakdown, you will have the breakthrough of understanding. But she recovered when she realized it wasn't something that was going to hurt her. That's a break-through. Well done, JR!! Have a great weekend, and say hello to Emory for me, please. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 🇨🇦🇺🇲

[@cattymajiv]

Hello Jennifer! I've seen you somewhere here before, and admired your experience and wisdom. It's very nice to see you around on the same channels that I frequent. Since Ontario is so huge I've wondered what part of it you're in. I've been to many places in Ontario along the trans-Canada, down to Niagra Falls and up to Quebec. I'm very familiar with the places in NW Ontario, from Kenora to North Bay, but less so farther east, though I do also the Ottawa area from living there. Anyway, I hope to continue to see you around! It's a pleasure to see you again!

[@jenniferlehman326]

@Catty Majiv I'm just about 10 minutes from the Ottawa Airport!! And I know Central Ontario very well as I was born in Bracebridge. My grandparents lived in Gravenhurst, so I know North Bay fairly well as well. My father, Military Veteran, was never posted there, but we visited friends on that base a few times. They say it's 6 degrees of separation. And that it's a small world. Well, obviously, that holds true here, don't you think? Have a Safe long weekend!! Love Jenn.💖

[@dreamcatcher3861]

Happy birthday JR 🎉 congratulations on the 50K, that’s awesome ❤ Lovely training session with Karen, I love how you talk to your horses, your gentle nature and presence is perfect for any unsure horse or pony. You can see in her eyes how she looked to you for reassurance and the confirmation when she got it. Beautiful to watch. Thank you. 🙏🏻🥰

[@stephaniegrandt938]

Oh, l love her and her eyes ! She will be great as her energy turns to trusting. Very smart horse. Can’t just give up freedom.❤❤ Karen, ok!

[@maryh1421]

Congratulations on over 50k subscribers 😂

[@catladynj]

You will train her to be a wonderful pet.😊❤

[@Valeriecc9805]

Indian runner ducks are great for bugs. Some vineyards have them to eat bugs. Wineries use the ducks, so they don't have to use chemicals. Just a thought.

[@makinitsch9113]

Spot on celebration is the fly treatment I use. I live in the south where flies are horrible. Ponds and ditches are plentiful. Heck misquotes could donate blood. Horseflies should be our state insect.

[@elizabethwebermccumber237]

Thank you for this new video! Love it!!

[@wakingohiomama9110]

For the flies we would use skin so soft from Avon lol. It doesn't keep the deerflies off that good though but they're wicked. I just would sell a limb to have a horse like her OR just her lol!! She is so so cute. I like the name pumpkin for her!

[@elizabethwebermccumber237]

Please ignor negative comments!!! You are doing wonderful!!

[@bonsaidouglas9180]

She is going to be a nice girl. Guess you got your Birthday wish 'eh ? 50000 WOW Your hard work is paying off -- Go Oliver

Happy Birthday and congrats on over 50 k subs..

[@andrewpaige6571]

God bless you and your family for rescuing these mares and foals .

[@sharonhopeweaver6139]

Skin so soft also softens coat, & helps with skin issues. Try it it really works for them. 18 uses with it. You’ll be surprised.

[@mikehenry6284]

Good job JR 👍. I wish folks that have nothing but negative comments, would just keep it to themselves. You've obviously broke and gentled many horses, and like I said, keep it up, your doing just fine! Blessings always 🙌 Jennifer

[@cathymontgomery7295]

One suggestion for fighting the bugs is guinea fowl. They can be noisy but i've heard they eat a lot of bugs

[@kellymanas6133]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JR! she did great & so did the fly spray..poor thing was miserable..so glad she let you spray it & didn't hardly mind.

[@pattylange9437]

Have you ever used fly boots ??? We have used them now for two years and absolutely love them, no more stomping their feet, and has saved on horse spray, give them a try, their well worth it … Thank you for your great videos ❤

[@fleetskipper1810]

[@karenduncan6004]

Happy Birthday, JR!🎉🎊🎉🎊🍰 Looks like you got your birthday wish. Congratulations! Great progress with this pretty girl! Shes responding beautifully to your kind treatment. It will be such fun to watch her grow and develop. I've never seen a horse just driven to desperation by flies before. It's amazing how fast she's learning and losing her fear, even with that awful distraction. So glad the spray helped. Thank you, JR, for turning the "Karen" name suggestion into a positive thing! Honoring your aunt is a great idea. She sounds like a lovely lady. It's hard to describe how it feels to constantly hear your name used the other way. Thanks for being sensitive to that.

[@casforsyth]

It’s a beautiful name 💙

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

I feel for the Karen’s out there anymore! And Brandon’s. Go look up your name meaning. The name Karen has beautiful meaning. I read in one place a Hebrew meaning for Karen is, Glorious Dignity☺️💞 I thought that was just beautiful ~ Emeri

[@karenduncan6004]

@@homesteadhorsemanship It is beautiful, and I've always enjoyed that about it! I love that you look up the meaning of names --- and appreciate that you didn't want to burden this filly with a negative idea behind her name! God bless you, Emeri!

[@carolmarlow4601]

You could try running a large fan to blow the bugs away

[@karenshaffer1265]

Yes the fly predators are great.i used them at one time.

[@bernadettecartin]

As I understand it though they are for stable flies. I've used them. They probably won't do anything for the horseflies and greenheads (those weren't mentioned but breed in swamps so with all the water there I'd guess they have those as well?). But if stable flies are in the mix the predators should definitely help with those.

[@cattymajiv]

Somebody else in the same area also said that it's the worst in the world for flies.

Yes but the amount of water on my place specifically makes it worse.

Nice horse and name fits her

[@truthseeker8072]

Hello. I have noticed some horse keepers used fly masks and boots or like a kind of sock that goes around the bottom of the legs. They can still see through the masks but it prevents flies from getting into their eyes and ears. And the boots just prevent them irritating the ankles.

Maybe put some flyblankets on the amazon wishlist ❤

[@donnalangley117]

I don't know if there is a place that sell them or not. But dragonflies eat Nats, Flys and mosquitoes. That might be an avenue to take is to buy some of the dragonflies and turn them loose to control the Flys and such. Also another option for fly repellent, we used to use is Avon skin so soft. It works really well mixed with water and just rub on their entire body. It's good for their skin too. Just sharing some ideas hope they are helpful. I enjoy your videos a great deal.

[@sharonhopeweaver6139]

If you can not use fly spray. Good tip to know a veterinarian I used in up State NY; told me try putting AVON’s REGULAR SKIN SO SOFT ON A MIT/CLOTH. Then apply. The smell does not bother horses. It’s great for mussel warts (deer brings into pastures, good for crustiest inside ears. Excellent bug spray.
