“I have never won anything before,” says Gayle Lawrence. “This has come at a great time for my barn, as we have 11 horses and have used SOLITUDE IGR for four years. We hand-feed it to all our horses in the turnout area and have found it works great to help keep control over the flies. There are two seasons in California, mud season and fly season.”
As the winner of the SOLITUDE IGR Sweepstakes, Gayle will receive an outstanding prize, sourced by Stable Management via Smartpakequine.com. The prize includes a season’s supply of SOLITUDE IGR fly prevention for 11 horses, a $1,000 cash prize and a Barn Buddy Kit.

“Stable Management would like to congratulate Gayle Lawrence and Kids Horsin’ Around on winning the SOLITUDE IGR Fly Control Sweepstakes,” says Jennifer Rowan, publisher of Stable Management Magazine. “We are thrilled with the enthusiasm and participation that we received with this sweepstakes.

Effective fly control can be a challenge for any horse owner. Flies are capable of transmitting disease and even affecting the weight and condition of horses, in severe cases. Safe and convenient, SOLITDUE IGR is an easy-to-dose, feed-through fly prevention that safely and dramatically reduces fly populations around horse operations by preventing immature flies from developing into adults.
The active ingredient in SOLITUDE IGR (2.12% cyromazine) has been shown in multiple studies to be up to 100% effective against house and stable flies. To achieve these results, owners need only top dress their horses' feed with one-half ounce of Solitude IGR daily. While significant results may be observed within two weeks, the full effect is usually realized in 4 - 6 weeks as the adult flies die off.
