1:08 I actually found a solution for that. Purchase a plastic funnel (usually used for baking, so probably found in kitchen supplies at a store.) and with one hand hold the funnel in the bottle and with the other hand pour the spray into it. Changed. My. Life.
Also, if you just turn the big bottle around, so when you start pouring the handle is below the opening.. The air bubble will be at the top by the spout, allowing for less, to none, of the glug glug nonsense. It'll be an even stream that you can aim better with.
You forgot about how it always sweats off in an hour. So frustrating! You should do one about fly masks. Like how they always rip or horses pull them off or my personal struggle. Rebel has huge ears (I say he has mule ears) and it's almost impossible to find a fly mask that fits over his ears and isn't way too big for his face.
Hey the solution for that is an ear bonnet under a regular fly mask ;) allows you to fit separately and if/when the ears rip its 7 bucks or so instead of a whole new one
Kara Argus That sounds like a good idea but I have the same problem with ear nets. I've only been able to find one that fits over his ears and it was the same price as a fly mask. Ah well maybe it's time to give in and just buy him a fly mask for a mule.
+DiamondArena09 I know it's unrelated, but I love your photo. All black and white with just a bit of color; it'd be perfect if his halter was blue too. :)
I found some awesome fly spray recipes in a horse book! First one is for spray bottle, second one is for 5 gallon bucket and/or lots of spray bottles. I haven't tried these recipes out yet, but hopefully they work! I hear this summer's supposed to be really hot and dry. The flies eat my horse's lower legs up so bad, they almost seem more red than white sometimes. 1/4 cup Epsom salts 1/2 cup hot water 1/2 cup cider vinegar 1/4 cup Avon Skin-So-Soft Dissolve salts in water, add vinegar and Skin-So-Soft, mix well before filling bottle (with funnel), and shake well before each use. 4 1/2 gallons water 6 ounces Blue Dawn dish washing detergent 1 ounce Permethrin 16 ounces Avon Skin-So-Soft 2/3 cup citronella oil 4 ounces mineral oil Mix all ingredients in 5 gallon bucket, stir well before filling bottles, and shake well before each use.
I got fly spray once that was a harsh spray even on the spray setting opposed to stream, and my mare was almost breaking ties over it. Got a cheap spray bottle with more settings and was able to do a soft mist, helped a lot!
Back in the day, we poured teh spray in a rinsed out coffee can with a cloth. Then we wiped the saturated cloth on the horse. Worked fine. The Lord must love flies or he wouldn't have made so many.
For people who can't refill fly spray (I'm not being rude this is just for help), try pouring it over a flat tray (like a paint roller tray) so what ever comes out you can either re-pour back into either bottle or use a cloth to soak it up and rub it on your horse (like those fly spray wipes :P )
It was my first time using fly spray and I just want to say, it. smells. Great. I’m pretty sure my trainer uses Smart Pak too. And it actually works. I would know. I used it. Edit: It definitely is Smart Pak. I checked. It ACTUALLY WORKS. BUY IT. IT. WORKS.
Sarah: "How are you even supposed to do this?"
Me: "Use a funnel.....maybe.... ehhhh?"
Samantha Butler lol I was thinking the same thing
Or hold the small bottle to the lip of the big bottle. Tilt slighty as needed
"I'm just singing a song to you without using fly spray cause that's ~scary~" HAHAHAHA!!!!!
at the end I cringed when all of that fly spray got poured out lol
Hannah Abbott she asked how to do it and I was like USE A FUNNEL
Alexis Johnson SAME
It was probably water but ikr lol 😂
"Pew pew pew, DIE" Totally me...
+Flashygrrl Me too lol
+Flashygrrl By the way I love you profile pic I like your dress
Courtney Barrel Racer Thanks!
your welcome
Same tho
I think it's so funny that you can see their breath - they must have been COLD! Go smartpakers! :)
Flies aren't around in the cold. That's one of the advantages of cold weather.
“I’m just singing a song to you, not using fly spray cause that’s scary” omg😂😂😂😂

When she was wiping the spray on herself I was like "SAME". I ALWAYS LOVED THE SMELL OF THAT STUFF!!
I love the smell of fly Spray
Evelyn Sterling Me too!
Yes, especially the citronella! Mm... smells like heaven.
Me too

***** I've seen those but from what everyone has told me it doesn't actually last.
Well luckily the barn I'm at for the summer doesn't have many bugs.
ScarsFromTomorrow my horse Blackjack will see the bottle and run buck and act crazy he does not like it at all
ScarsFromTomorrow NO WONDER MY PONY ALWAYS SWATS WITH HER TAIL WHEN WE PUT FLYSPARY ON HER
death by bugs lmao
Love this! so funny
+DiamondArena09 I know it's unrelated, but I love your photo. All black and white with just a bit of color; it'd be perfect if his halter was blue too. :)
“Why is that even a setting” 🤣🤣I totally relate
I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses it on myself....
I legit bathe my horse in fly spray😂😂
the last one with refilling the spray cans. Its so frustrating!
Ashley Dawnhurricane Funnels work!
Lola DeVoogd When you leave it at home...XD
XD
Lola DeVoogd Lol yesterday I went to a cooking utensils store and bought a funnel to keep at my stable. Im thinking in my head:
YES
+Ashley Dawnhurricane I know right
I'll remeber to get a funnel once I actually have to refill my fly spray XD
it's called a funnel! lol loving these! please keep 'em coming :)
"I'm using flyspray... because that's scary" I choked on my water laughing
It's so satisfying to spray at a cluster of flies too😂
"Pew, pew, pew!! Die!! Pew!!" Hahahaha!!!:D
When the flies are real bad((like at yesterday’s show))I’ll spray my horse then I’ll spray me lol. I call it our “Matching Perfume” lol😂
Oml I always say “Either this or death by bugs, your choice” to my mares
“Not using fly spray because that’s scary” me af
Sail, wishing wells, and butterfly are all jumps we have at the barn to lol 😂
"It's either this or death by bugs, You decide" That part killed me! It was way to funny and actuate!
Tip with the fly spray
Use a funnel
Every time Sarah talked fly spray came out of her mouth!!! Lol
I LOVE the sound of fly spray bottles spraying XD
You can see their breath, it must have been so cold! GO SMARTPAKERS
Hahhhaa! Oh my gosh, at 0:47, that's JUST what I do with my mare! Sooo funny!!! :D
Ha ha!! I love it!! Keep them coming, please!!
LOL Pew, pew, die bugs! She needs a funnel to pour that, trust me, it helps; I always spill the sweet tea if it's a full pitcher.
Yup this is us, dowsing our mare with fly spray.

Lol I love when you make vids
I love the smell of fly spray and horse feed... is that weird?
El Is A Horse nope. I have soap that smells like fly spray.
Ellaaa Howlster idk but I do too 😂
Not from fly spray, but of horse feed? Yup. (ThesmellofflysprayhereinBelgiumisdeadlypleasehelpme)
Nothing like walking into the barn and taking a deep breath, there’s no smell like that of fresh hay and horses.
Yesssss me too!
The first time I used fly spray I had it on that weird setting, not aware there was another and I was like.... the fuck? this is not helpful...
Sprays like a square inch of a 1200 pound animal XD
Nikki The Fox sameeeeeeee
The fly spray I use smells really good to me, and all my friends are like "your weird"
BUT IT SMELLS REALLY GOOOOODDDD!!
Hahaha use a funnel for the fly spray it will help lol. Funny video
I use my horse's brush on my hair if it's down... :) I love the smell of fly spray!
OMG THIS IS SO FUNNY! I really hope I can start taking lessons soon.
Love the Outsmart!
I got fly spray once that was a harsh spray even on the spray setting opposed to stream, and my mare was almost breaking ties over it. Got a cheap spray bottle with more settings and was able to do a soft mist, helped a lot!
That is a gorgeous horse! ^^
Oh my god the pouring the fly spray into the squirt bottle kills me every time.....
Good job Smartpackers! You made t look like summer but if you look in some scenes you can see their breath
When the first one happens to me... I must find a way to avenge my coffee!
0:56 me 😂😂😂😂😂✌
same 😂
Back in the day, we poured teh spray in a rinsed out coffee can with a cloth. Then we wiped the saturated cloth on the horse. Worked fine. The Lord must love flies or he wouldn't have made so many.
One. Word.
*Funnels.*
Things riders say about fly spray in one word: EMPTY?!
For people who can't refill fly spray (I'm not being rude this is just for help), try pouring it over a flat tray (like a paint roller tray) so what ever comes out you can either re-pour back into either bottle or use a cloth to soak it up and rub it on your horse (like those fly spray wipes :P )
You are super funny 🤣
1:13 use a funnel?
this is so relatable!
Funnels...people...funnels!
Love ur videos !!!
I need to sing to my horse as well 😂
Um. Yeah. I always say pew when I shoot the flies 😂😂😂
Sometimes the flies will congregate in my horse's back and I'll spray them all with fly spray and it's so satisfying.
OMIGOSH SOOOOO RELATABLE 😂😂😂
I got the mail and the 50% off magazine!
This is so relatable😂😂😂😂
I told my mom she smells like fly spray and she's like what? and I'm like it's a compliment the fly spray I use smells REALLY GOOD.
and it's when it's still freezing outside that you need flyspray? :p
kidding we all do that... mostly for the spilling everywhere part XD
I have most defiantly used fly spray on myself. The flies are intense right now in Kentucky
1:04 most relatable thing ever😂
I don't know the first thing about horse but these vids are funny. And they say Americans don't understand sarcasm!
0:42-0:50 My favourite !!!!
It was my first time using fly spray and I just want to say, it. smells. Great. I’m pretty sure my trainer uses Smart Pak too. And it actually works. I would know. I used it.
Edit: It definitely is Smart Pak. I checked. It ACTUALLY WORKS. BUY IT. IT. WORKS.
funnel in the spray bottle would help lol
During the summer fly spray is your best friend
0:55 MY LIFE, every time.
"Pew Pew Pew...DIE!" Yup...they understand.
the last one so relatable
Omg doing it on yourself is so true xD
0:55 😂😂I'm actually dying
Funnels exist for a reason
1:07 use a funnel, keep a funnel there, they are useful
Seriously though, it's so satisfying to see the flies just drop of their legs, dead.
And this is why my barn has automatic fly sprayers
Horse: nooooo mom, It’s cold.
I literally feel this
I use fly spray as a perfume cause it smells SO good
“I’m just singing a song to you, not using fly spray cause that’s scary”
0:55 that's definitely me haha
Yep
Refilling the fly spray is me
I think I need to buy those piper breeches now!
I love mine, they feel really nice
Yeah, I already have a pair! I love the color in the video though!
Good to know that I'm not the only one who thinks that fly spray smells good...
I dont need to use the flyspray on myself but when it gets terrible i do
Im sure they know this but use a funnel when pouring fly spry into the bottle it helps.
Sarah you use a funnel 😂
This year it was "why does my fly spray smell like crayons
At the ranch that I ride at our fly spray bottles get clogged and don't spray at all.
Last one a funnel
when i refill spray cans i use a funel to avoid spilling
Why is that me any time I try to refile the spray bottle at the barn 1:14
You will never have enough fly spray
How can u c their breath if its warm outside
