I hope he's all better by now, though.<br /><br />We've got some flies around her now...not many, but they aren't the biting kind. Thank goodness. Every so often we do get a few that bite terribly...always seem to bite the ankle and lower legs. gah!<br />I bought some fly spray called Piranha, and wow! It works wonders. The flies will even fall off if they land. It also lasts for more than week as long as it doesn't rain....which is common around here, lol!<br /><br />I don't blame you for putting off riding. I would, too.<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455485508881407962.post-14871484891605016202009-08-15T18:45:34.114-04:002009-08-15T18:45:34.114-04:00Aww, poor Gilly!

Glad that's all it was, and nothing more serious though.<br /><br />It was quite interesting to read about horseflies on Wikipedia, if you get a chance - how they bite much differently than other flies, by actually excising a piece of skin!

Thanks, I love those ears too.<br /><b>Jacque</b>, yes, that had to really hurt, oh, yes, me too! We would have both been down....ugh!<br /><b>Paint Girl</b>, his lip is all better. Horse flies are the worst, I think I am going to give up riding for about a month until the vampires are gone!<br /><b>Five O'Clock Somewhere</b>, Gilly is the one who the flies really go for. Pokey is lucky, not many bother him. Wish I had an indoor arena then I could ride with being bitten!<br /><b>Marilyn</b>, so sorry about your dog! I haven't seen them after my dogs, Lucy the Aussie Shepherd jumps in the air after them, she hates them too. Hopefully they will be gone in a month. Gilly is OK now, thanks!jane augensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053766605374583376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455485508881407962.post-88118604056119947062009-08-10T16:00:39.956-04:002009-08-10T16:00:39.956-04:00Really Sorry for Gilly...I had to leave the shore ...Really Sorry for Gilly...I had to leave the shore the other day 'cause of what the (Giant) horesflies were doing to my POOR dog...Biting him All over his ankles and drew way to much blood!!!

Seems like they particularly like one of my horses, not biting flies, but regular ones. I feel so bad they just swarm her. Must be because she is so sweet!

But they usually leave me alone. Sometimes we'll get some annoying ones that bite me, they love my blood, I usually react to the bites and they swell up really big. <br />Loved the video!!Paint Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095673661149903754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455485508881407962.post-76484441420827675202009-08-09T22:41:10.684-04:002009-08-09T22:41:10.684-04:00That Gilly.
