Absorbine® Sponsors Charlotte Dujardin

Top-ranked dressage rider partners with The Horse World’s Most Trusted Name^®

Absorbine^® takes pride in its global presence, providing quality horse care products to 40 countries around the world. This tradition of international excellence has long been present in Great Britain, and now Absorbine is pleased to announce its official sponsorship of British dressage rider Charlotte Dujardin. Charlotte was a European Champion in 2013, and was a double gold medalist at the London 2012 Olympics Games. As the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) top-ranked dressage rider in the world, she is now taking her accomplishments to the World Equestrian Games (WEG) in Normandy, where Absorbine will be standing right behind her.

At just 29 years of age, Charlotte has experienced outstanding success in partnership with Valegro, a Dutch Warmblood gelding. The pair currently holds the world record in all three elements of dressage: the freestyle; Grand Prix; and Grand Prix Special. They secured gold medals in both the team and individual events at the 2012 Olympics and were European Champions in 2013. The upcoming World Equestrian Games in Normandy will be Charlotte’s first time competing at WEG, where she will be leading Great Britain’s dressage team.

Absorbine recognizes Charlotte as an ideal ambassador for its worldwide products and presence, and celebrates the opportunity to sponsor her. “We have followed Miss Dujardin’s international success since the London Olympics, and have been very impressed with her routinely elegant performances and unprecedented achievements,” says Chris Jacobi, General Manager, Equine Division at Absorbine. “We are pleased to support her continued success. Even more than her accomplishments, it is her determination, ambition, and unconditional love for a horse that we truly admire.”

Charlotte is a passionate advocate of Absorbine products, and is grateful for the brand’s support. “I am thrilled at this new partnership with Absorbine. I am a strong believer in their products, and it means a lot to have a trusted brand standing behind me as I head to the World Equestrian Games,” says Charlotte. “The best rides start with a horse that looks and feels his best, and Absorbine products help me achieve that.”

The World Equestrian Games kick off on August 23 in Normandy, with dressage competition taking place August 25 - 29. Absorbine is pleased to support Charlotte Dujardin throughout this prestigious international event, and wishes her the best of luck.

Bathing Your Horse Before A Show

Often, horse’s coats can start to look slightly sun bleached during the summer months. A number of Absorbine products can help revitalise your horses coat in preparation for a competition.

Get extra sparkle with ShowSheen 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner. As the name suggests, the Pro-Vitamins help nourish the skin and strengthen hair in one swift and effective step.  It deep cleans and conditions in to leave hair soft, strong and manageable. 

 

ShowSheen Stain Remover and Whitener is perfect for those horses who enjoy a good roll. It contains Oxi-Erasers to lift out stains, simply sprays on and rinses off.  For the toughest stains it works as a powerful pre-treatment spray.  It is colour safe and does not contain any bleach. 

 

Knots and tangles are not an issue when using ShowSheen® Detangler Gel. It unlocks the toughest knots and tangles and comes in a pearl effect bottle in an easy to apply gel formula.  It conditions for stronger, fuller manes and tails.

 

Running Short of time? Miracle Groom is the answer! A patented 5-in-1 formula that cleans, conditions, deodorizes, detangles, and shines in just one application.  It’s great for removing those last minute stains and is also ideal to take to competitions to help quickly remove any sweat marks before entering the ring.   Miracle Groom cleans and nourishes the coat and skin naturally, protecting the hair’s essential oils and producing amazing results, quickly removing dust and grime and even removing stubborn stains without the need for soap and water.

ShowSheen Finishing Mist is perfect for last minute touch-ups with its continuous, quiet sprayer that won’t spook your horse. 

Summer Care For Your Horse

When we get long periods of dry weather, hooves can become brittle and cracked. This can lead to problems such as clenches raising on the shoes more quickly than normal ,which results in more frequently lost shoes, which in turn can result in lost days training, missed competitions and expensive vet’s bills.

During dry conditions, hooves need to be kept thoroughly oiled. Absorbine Hooflex Original Liquid Conditioner is brilliant to help keep the correct moisture balance in the hoof during dry conditions.

The use of Absorbine Hooflex Original Liquid Conditioner creates a breathable barrier to help maintain the proper moisture balance necessary to keep hooves healthy in both exceptionally wet and very dry conditions. The unique formula, created from nine special ingredients helps to maintain good quality new hoof growth from the coronet bands.

 

It is important to get your horse shod regularly in the dry summer months. If their hooves are too long there is a risk that the nails will come up and the horse will pull off a shoe and damage its foot. If a horse does manage to pull a shoe off, Absorbine Magic Cushion Hoof Packing is perfect to help protect the foot until a farrier is able to come out and put the shoe back on.

Magic Cushion is an efficient way to cool and cushion bruised soles and sore feet. Thermography tests show that the all-natural formula can start to reduce heat in hooves after just an hour. It also has cleaning and cushioning properties to help keep the sole in good condition, even under pads! With its sticky, spongy texture, it moulds perfectly to the horses sole and will last up to 48 hours.






On hard ground, joints and muscles can easily get tired, sore and jarred. Absorbine's Liquid Embrocation contains a time honoured blend of calendula, Echinacea and wormwood herbs and is ideal for use as a muscle rub on sore muscles, stiff joints and tendons by helping to support circulation before or after work. After finishing competing Liquid Embrocation can also be diluted with water and used as a refreshing body wash, to revitalise the horse.
