# Have You Ever Frosted a Donkey?

![Swat and Zinc](https://www.gentlespirithorses.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/swat.jpg "Swat and Zinc")

Here at GSH we have come up with a concoction of zinc oxide and Swat that works great to keep the flies off and heal old bites. Simply apply it to their legs like you are frosting them! We also like using Shoo-fly flyboots to help them as well.
