I'd like to know the ingredients for my skin sensitive horse? Thanks!

Susie, I just today had to give my horse an injection of Dexamethasone, and will administer dex powder for 5 days, due to the horrible hives that my horse has broken out in due to this product. Have used regular Bronco for about a year with no issues. Cow flies were getting bad, so I bought this due to all the positive comments. My horse's tail was surgically altered for the show pen years ago, and so she can't swish off the flies like other horses, so I predominantly sprayed over her hip and rump. That is where the hives are SO bad, that even rinsing off the product, once we made the connection, made her wince. In fact, on one side I used shampoo and then betadine to get that stuff off her, and rinsed her like crazy, but still her fur is raised and coated there! Its like I can't wash it off! I've never read the back of a fly spray product in my life, so didn't with this one, either, until now. There are warnings about how much, and how often, right on the bottle. Luckily, and though I have sprayed her 2-3 times over past 5 days, I didn't exceed the warnings. Still, I'll be writing to Farnam to suggest they put BIG warning letters on the bottle. For my mare, its as if she has a terrible sunburn, and she doesn't want to be touched. Rinsing her caused her lips and head to twitch, as if she wanted to scratch but couldn't. I feel like such a schmuck.

What's the difference between this and the regular Bronco spray?

What is the difference between the farnam bronco gold in the gold bottle compared to the bronco e equine spray plus?

Not sure. But this really does work on our ponies.

Personally I would not use it. Many products used on horses are not okay for pregnant mares or (eww) horses intended for food. In addition, products such as Wipe should not come in contact with your hands. I keep a pair of plastic gloves in my tack box when using such a product.
