About Luca (Gianluca Caron) Operations Manager
Gianbecame a professional rider when he was eighteen years old. He spent about 25 years riding and working with some of the most important riders in the world. He first sat on the back of a horse as a small child, and soon after started working at local barns to gain riding time. Throughout his venture, he rode his way through opportunities that led him to horse shows all over Europe. In the midst of climbing his way to the top, his dream of spending every second in the saddle abruptly stopped. Unfortunately, an injury prevented him from riding.
But as we say, when one door closes a bigger one opens.In 2007 he started a career as an entrepreneur helping equestrian brands to grow in the US market. Only the best is good enough!This has always been his motto. He has always tried to work with horses that showed great quality from a young age, Gian believes it is the only way to be successful and has applied the same concept in choosing the "young" brands to he developed: Parlanti, Kask, CT, Kingsland and now Charlee's!

What makes Charlee's Fly Spray different from other "all-natural" sprays?
Where most plant-based fly sprays fizzle out after an hour or two and demand constant reapplication, Charlee's Fly Spray is built to keep working. The pH-balanced formula uses natural surfactants and essential oils engineered to bond with the hair and coat, so it sticks through sweat and stays effective for over 4 hours against flies, gnats, mosquitos, horseflies and deer flies. It carries a pleasant, mild scent that makes it genuinely more enjoyable to apply than the eye-watering chemical sprays it replaces.
Multiple Charlee's Fly Spray bottles displayed in a rowWho created it, and why a farrier? The spray was developed by Tim Cable, a third-generation farrier with over 50 years under horses and an accreditation from the International Association of Professional Farriers, where he also served on the Board of Directors. After decades of watching short-lasting sprays fail and harsh chemical products linger on coats and on the people handling them, Tim formulated something he could trust around the animals and humans he worked beside every day. He named it for his daughter, Charlee, with the goal of a product gentle enough for both horses and the people who care for them.
Charlee's Fly Spray All-in-One Defense Bundle complete set
What's actually in the bottle?
Charlee's Fly Spray is a pesticide-free natural emulsion derived from ingredients sourced from nature: coconut, corn, carrots, and essential oils, with lemongrass and peppermint doing the heavy lifting as the active repellents. There are no synthetic pyrethroids, pyrethrins, or Deet, ingredients the company flags as neurotoxins and irritants that can linger as residues on coats, tack, and skin. Every batch is manufactured in Wellington, Florida, and the product is proudly Made in the USA.
Charlee's Fly Spray 1/2 gallon natural fly repellent refillHow do you use it, and how long does it last? It's a ready-to-use spray applied directly to the horse, and the single most important instruction the company repeats is "Please Remember TO Shake Well Before Using," since the natural emulsion needs to be remixed before each use. Because it bonds to the coat rather than simply coating the surface, it requires far fewer applications than conventional sprays, holding protection for 4+ hours per application. As with any natural product, a small patch test before full-body application is sensible for sensitive horses.
Who is it for?
Charlee's is trusted by serious horse people, with endorsements from FEI dressage rider Katie Johnson, Olympic show jumper Beezie Madden, Olympic dressage rider Adrienne Lyle, USDF Silver Medalist Ericka Cecere, Lindy Farms head trainer Domenico Cecere, and GallopNYC barn manager Marie Varvaro. Because the formula is pesticide-free and mild-scented, it's positioned as safe to use around children and pets, not just performance horses, making it a fit for backyard owners and competition barns alike.
