Absorbine: the essential horse care brand

For five generations, the Absorbine family has devoted its expertise to the well-being of horses. The brand's story began in the late 19th century, when Wilbur Fenelon Young and his wife Mary Ida were searching for a solution to soothe their horses after long days of carriage work. The very first Absorbine product was born. Over the decades, the brand has expanded its expertise to support riders in their everyday care routine.

Quite a story!

Wilbur Fenelon Young and his wife Mary Ida, the founders of Absorbine, devoted their lives to caring for horses. Back in 1892, they developed an herbal and essential oil liniment that became the famous Absorbine Liniment. Years have passed, but the brand has stayed true to that same spirit — over 130 years later ✨

The range has grown considerably. "Whether it's caring for wounds, protecting your horses from insects, looking after their hooves, keeping them looking their best, helping ease muscle or joint discomfort, or caring for leather — Absorbine is by your side."

Recognised for the quality of its formulations and its veterinary expertise, the brand develops solutions tailored to the needs of sport horses, leisure horses and breeding stock.

Effectiveness & quality 🔥

Absorbine offers high-quality products designed to meet the most important needs when caring for horses. Products are tested for many months before going to market, and clinical trials are conducted — such as for the ShowSheen Detangler & Shine — to prove their effectiveness.

Packaging is also carefully chosen to withstand stable conditions and be easy to use 💪 The 950ml spray bottle is highly durable, can be used upside down and offers two spray widths.

Where performance and preservation requirements allow, Absorbine also prioritises natural active ingredients, as found in the UltraShield Green, Hooflex Natural, Magic Cushion and Silver Honey. 

Psst, all products are competition-safe 🤩

ShowSheen and UltraShield: 2 must-have ranges ☀️

The iconic orange bottle of Absorbine Liniment has been joined by the ShowSheen range for coat care, Hooflex and Magic Cushion for hoof care, UltraShield for insect protection and Silver Honey for wound care.

One of the brand's star products is the ShowSheen Detangler & Shine, which detangles in one step and leaves the coat gleaming for a full week!

✨ It quickly detangles and strengthens mane and tail hair while reducing breakage by 40%,

✨ Nourishes the coat with provitamins and adds shine for a natural gleam,

✨ Repels dirt and dust, making grooming easier.

UltraShield solutions help keep insects at bay. A great tip? Pair a repellent spray like UltraShield Green with one of the fly mask and UV-protection options from the UltraShield FlyMask ☀️ range

The newest addition to the brand, the Silver Honey range is the first and only combination of natural Manuka honey and MicroSilver BG™. This unique blend promotes faster healing. It comes in several versions:

- Spray or balm: to care for all types of wounds and irritations,

- Mud Defense: targeted care for mud fever,

- Dermatological shampoo: the first step in wound care.

Absorbine also offers unique solutions like Magic Cushion, a soothing hoof packing, and the fantastic Supershine polishes!
