Absorbine: the essential horse care brand

For five generations, the Absorbine family has dedicated its expertise to the wellbeing of horses. The brand's story began at the end of the 19th century, when Wilbur Fenelon Young and his wife Mary Ida were looking for a way to relieve their horses after long days of carriage work. The first Absorbine product was born. Over the decades, the brand has expanded its expertise to support riders in their everyday care routines.

Quite a story!

Wilbur Fenelon Young and his wife Mary Ida, the founders of Absorbine, dedicated their lives to caring for horses. As early as 1892, they developed an herbal and essential oil liniment that became the famous Absorbine Liniment. The years have passed, but the brand has kept the 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 to ease muscle or joint pain, or conditioning your leather — Absorbine is by your side."

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

Efficacy & 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 on the ShowSheen Detangler & Shine — to prove their effectiveness.

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

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

Psst, all products can be used in competition 🤩

ShowSheen and UltraShield: 2 essential 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 range's star products is the ShowSheen Detangler & Shine, which in a single application detangles 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, healthy gleam,

✨ Repels dirt and dust, making grooming easier.

The UltraShield range offers effective protection against insects. Our top tip? Pair a repellent spray like UltraShield Green with one of the fly masks and UV protection masks 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 pairing promotes faster healing. It is available in several versions:

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

- Mud Defense: targeted care for mud fever,

- Dermatological shampoo: the first step when treating wounds.

Absorbine also offers unique solutions such as Magic Cushion, a soothing hoof paste, and the fantastic Supershine polishes!
