ShowSheen Shines in Tried and Tested

Absorbine ShowSheen range features in Equestrian Life magazine tried and tested.

The Absorbine ShowSheen grooming range was tried and tested by Equestrian Life magazines editor, Louise Graham and received a glowing report in the April issue.

Louise sampled the ShowSheen 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner, which is now available in a salon style bottle, and said that "the non-spill cap on the new bottle was very useful as I have spilt lots of shampoo in the yard before now!". Following a bath with the 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner, ShowSheen Original and ShowSheen finishing mist are the perfect way to leave your horse's coat looking sleek and shiny ready for the show ring and a fuller stronger looking tail can be the result of the ShowSheen Detangler Gel which removes even the toughest knots.

Being the owner of a grey horse who lives in the field Louise was pleased with the results of the ShowSheen stain remover and whitener as it finally removed all those stains and she is now a regular user.

After her horse's make over with the ShowSheen products Louise said "I can thoroughly recommend Absorbine products, you need three hands to get a horse ready for a show, so everything that helps to make life a little easier is great".

Review of Tried and Tested Absorbine Products

We got one of our customers to test out our Absorbine 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner, ShowSheen Stain Remover and Showsheen Detangler. Here is what she had to say:

I used the Absorbine products on my two event horses, they live in the field all the time and I have to fit in looking after them around work. I’ve been struggling to find products that will improve the cleanliness of my horses straight away as I don’t always have time to regularly wash them, that was until I found Absorbine!



ShowSheen Hair
Polish & Detangler



When I used the Absorbine 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner on my horse’s tail I noticed the effect immediately as it removed all the dirt easily and left the tail feeling healthier and with an added shine. My horse has a very thick tail and I am often battling with knots, when I applied the ShowSheen Hair Polish and Detangler after washing I found the knots easier to remove and the tail could be brushed right through, making it look a lot fuller. I found that the shine stayed for a several days even after turning my horse out in the field.

On my grey horse I used the ShowSheen Stain Remover & Whitener to try to get rid of the yellow colour her tail, which always seems to be there. This worked really well and proved to have an immediate effect unlike other products I have used in the past. I have washed the tail again since and it has improved even more. It was simple to apply and rinsed out easily, I prefer to use a product like this that doesn’t contain any bleach and doesn’t dry out the tail out.

All of the products came with very clear instructions and had a lovely fragrance about them. The bottles are all good sizes and only small amounts of the products are needed at a time so they will last me a long time. I will definitely be using the Absorbine products on my horses in the future!

Absorbine Sponsored Riders Success at Windsor

Absorbine sponsored rider Jo Bates has continued her success this season with a win in the Novice Riding Horse at Royal Windsor Horse Show. Banbury based Jo was riding Alan Lintott's Thriller, this win has been largely due to the help of dressage supremo Charlotte Dujardin who has been training Jo and Thriller throughout the winter months. A trip to the Three Shires Area 5 spring show where the pair stood Champions in the Riding Horse earlier in May proved to be a great warm up for Windsor.

Review For New Stain Remover and Whitener

A great review from the Florida Equestrian Magazine for Absorbine's New ShowSheen Stain Remover and Whitener.

Whether you have a gray horse, a light colored horses, or a horse with a lot of chrome, getting out tough stains can be one of the biggest challenges and can be very time consuming. Dirt, manure, and urine stains can require a lot of scrubbing and cleaning before the stubborn stains will budge. I have tried several whitening products on my horses’ legs, and while some have worked with a lot of hard work on my end, none have been as easy to use with such great results as Absorbine ShowSheen
Stain Remover & Whitener.

Absorbine ShowSheen Stain Remover & Whitener will cut your grooming time down significantly. My horse has been turned all winter, and though his legs get brushed occasionally, his socks were stained to more of a brown color than white. As per instructions, I brushed the loose dirt off before application. After reading the instructions for the “Quick Clean-Up”, which said to apply the Stain Remover & Whitener for 1-5 minutes depending on the severity of the stain, I applied the stain remover directly to the stains and decided to leave it on for 3 minutes.

It was so easy to apply using the convenient spray bottle. I was happy to see the product started working almost as soon as I applied it. After 3 minutes, I rinsed off his leg and ran out to take a picture, as I was so shocked at the results. His sock was glistening white in just a total of 4 minutes later without any scrubbing or shampooing. Absorbine ShowSheen Stain Remover & Whitener does not contain bleach and is color-safe. It also is pH balanced and includes ingredients such as green tea and fruit extracts so that it nourishes and conditions hair while the Oxi-Eraser^™ stain lifters are working.

I would highly recommend this product for anyone that has a horse with any chrome markings, or has a light colored or gray horse. Absorbine ShowSheen Stain Remover & Whitener was easy to use, quick, virtually mess-free, and the results speak for themselves. The price for this product is better than comparable products. It is perfect for a fast-paced horse show morning where both time and turnout are of the essence, or whenever you want your horses to look their best. It is definitely a must have for your grooming kit.
