Thanks to Spalding Labs for Helping us Fight Flies

Spalding Labs, makers of Fly Predators, provides our farm with those wonderful little fly-pupae eating bugs, and can provide them to your farm too! The generous folks at Spalding Labs will donate to Great Strides 10% of all sales which are generated from people who use our link to purchase Fly Predators from them. We have found that Fly Predators really do make a difference in the fly population, even in the first year of using them. Fewer flies makes for happier horses - and people! Visit them at: Spalding Labs
