I'm Lytha from West Seattle, Washington. I moved to NRW, Germany in 2007 and married a wonderful German man who understands my love of horses and fulfilled my dream of living the last 2/3 of my life in the country, with my horse in my backyard.

Love it. He's so handsome, like eye candy.
Camryn, funny, I was gonna call this post eye candy. He may be lame on 3 legs, scratched all up from a T post, covered in old scars from Poland, not groomed, flies all over, but I could somehow get a few good shots the other day. He has no hip, no balance front to back. But his face, that expression, I cannot believe he's mine sometimes. And during this session he learned to be tied to a tree, for real, for the first time. And left there. More to come.
FLIES
Dang horseflies. Tips from the Interwebs.
Always wear a hat with a Red Top flytrap on top or covered in flypaper. Hang Redtop flytraps all over your property. Put flypaper everywhere.
Douse yourself and your horse with Avon SkinSoSoft.
Buy several bug zappers and one for yourself to be caried at all times - https://www.amazon.com/Anmire-Electronic-Swatter-Rechargeable-Mosquito/dp/B01H7FO6BY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Feed a little garlic to you and your horse.
Heck, might as well make garlic necklaces for you both while you're at it to keep away the vampires
Hang these fly traps all over - https://www.amazon.com/Flies-Be-Gone-Toxic-Trap/dp/B000F6BYWM?ie=UTF8&tag=hubpages0b942-20
Drink whiskey three times a day.
Don't bath your horse or yourself, You should both roll in the mud and not wash off.
Eat Marmite eavery day.
Get a flysheet & flymask for yourself and your horse.
Use Camrosa ointment & Menthalatom for ouchies.
Procure some Fly Predators (tiny non-stinging wasps that eat horsefly larvae).
Bbeak the fly life cycle is through feeding your horse a supplement containing Insect Growth Regulator (IGR).
Sorry for your horsefly woes!

This is a lovely picture.
Do we still have the same camera? Mine is beginning to show age--it gives me a lot more glare than it used to give, because I've scratched the heck out of the lens, maybe?
That is a gorgeous photo! :)
Wow! He's so gorgeous!!
