No, I’m positive there were millions of flies. My poor horses and donkeys were miserable. They quit eating, and instead, swatted flies with their tails and swung their heads all day and night. They were constantly stomping their feet, staying in motion, trying to combat the biting flies. They were sleep deprived and didn’t act like themselves.

I kept two fans running in the barn to try and give them some relief from the heat and shoo the flies away, but it didn’t come close to making a difference.
