Some brands earn their reputation quickly and fade just as fast. Absorbine is not one of them. In continuous production since 1892, this American horse care brand has been a fixture in stables and tack rooms for well over a century, with products that have stood up to real-world use across generations of horse owners. At The Vet Shed we stock a strong selection of the Absorbine range, covering grooming, coat care, hoof care and fly control.

ShowSheen: The Grooming Range

The Absorbine ShowSheen line is one of the most recognised horse grooming ranges in the world, and for good reason. It delivers a high-gloss finish, serious detangling and long-lasting coat protection that holds up between washes. Whether you are preparing for competition or just keeping your horse looking sharp day to day, the ShowSheen range gives you options at every step of the grooming process.

ShowSheen Hair Polish 946ml with Sprayer - Full-size bottle with trigger sprayer, delivering high-gloss shine and detangling in one application
ShowSheen Hair Polish 3.8L - The large format option for high-use stables or those who go through product regularly
ShowSheen Hair Polish Refill 950ml - Refill pack without sprayer, ideal for topping up your existing bottle and reducing waste
ShowSheen Finishing Mist Spray 443ml - A lighter application for a quick finishing touch before entering the ring or heading out on a ride
ShowSheen Moisturising Detangler 118ml - Concentrated detangler focused on mane and tail conditioning and knot removal
ShowSheen Stain Remover and Whitener 590ml - Targeted treatment for removing stable stains, grass marks and discolouration on grey or light-coloured horses

Coat Care and Grooming

Miracle Groom 946ml - A waterless bathing spray that cleans, conditions and shines the coat without needing a hose. Useful for cold weather grooming or quick touch-ups when a full bath is not practical
Santa Fe Coat Conditioner and Sunscreen 946ml - A coat conditioner developed with UV protection built in, helping prevent sun bleaching on dark-coloured horses and keeping the coat in good condition through summer

Hoof Care

Hooflex Therapeutic Conditioner Liquid 450ml - A long-trusted liquid hoof conditioner that penetrates to support hoof wall flexibility and overall hoof health. Suitable for regular maintenance use
Hooflex Frog and Sole Care 355ml - Specifically formulated for the frog and sole rather than just the hoof wall, helping maintain sole integrity and frog health in horses prone to softness or environmental issues
Magic Cushion X-Treme 1.8kg - A high-strength hoof packing compound used widely by farriers and competition horse owners to relieve soreness, bruising and discomfort in the sole and frog. The X-Treme formula is the stronger version of the original Magic Cushion, designed for horses with more significant hoof soreness or those in heavy work
SuperShine Hoof Polish 236.6ml - A fast-drying hoof polish for presentation, delivering a mirror-like finish for show days

Fly Control

UltraShield Insecticide and Repellent - Absorbine's flagship fly spray for horses. Available in multiple sizes, UltraShield provides broad-spectrum protection against flies, mosquitoes and other insects, with a sweat-resistant formula built to hold up during work and in warm Australian conditions

FAQs About Absorbine Horse Products

What is Absorbine best known for?

Absorbine is best known in the horse world for ShowSheen, the hair polish and detangler used by horse owners and grooms worldwide, and for its Hooflex hoof care range. The brand also has a strong following for Magic Cushion hoof packing and UltraShield fly control. At The Vet Shed we stock across all of these product lines.

What is the difference between ShowSheen Hair Polish and the Finishing Mist?

ShowSheen Hair Polish is the core product in the range, providing a full application of gloss, detangling and coat protection. It works through the mane, tail and body coat and is the product to reach for as part of a thorough grooming session. The Finishing Mist is a lighter spray intended as a final touch before heading into the ring or at the end of grooming, adding a quick top layer of shine without the full application of the polish.

Does ShowSheen make it harder for a saddle or bridle to stay in place?

ShowSheen applied directly under the saddle or girth area can reduce friction, which is worth being mindful of. Most experienced users avoid applying it to the back and girth area or wipe those areas down after application before tacking up. On the mane, tail and legs it does not cause any practical issue.

What does Magic Cushion X-Treme do and how is it used?

Magic Cushion X-Treme is a thick packing compound applied to the sole and frog of the hoof to help relieve soreness, bruising and discomfort. It is particularly useful for horses in hard work, horses with thin soles, or those recovering from soreness after a long competition day. The X-Treme version is the stronger formulation within the Magic Cushion range. It is typically packed into the hoof and held in place with a pad or bandaging, then removed after several hours. Many farriers and competition grooms keep it as a barn staple.

What is the difference between Hooflex Therapeutic Conditioner and Hooflex Frog and Sole Care?

The Hooflex Therapeutic Conditioner Liquid is designed for the hoof wall, helping maintain flexibility and condition from the outside in. It is a regular maintenance product suitable for most horses. The Frog and Sole Care formula is specifically targeted at the underside of the hoof, addressing the frog and sole rather than the wall. Horses with soft frogs, tender soles or those in consistently wet or dry conditions tend to benefit from both used together.

Can Miracle Groom replace a full bath?

Miracle Groom is a waterless spray that cleans, conditions and adds shine without needing water. It works well for removing light surface dust and sweat, freshening the coat between washes and grooming in cold conditions when bathing is not practical. For a genuinely dirty horse after a hard work session in muddy conditions, it will take the edge off but is unlikely to fully replace a proper bath. As a between-bath maintenance tool it is very practical.

Is the Santa Fe Coat Conditioner suitable for all coat colours?

Yes. The Santa Fe Coat Conditioner and Sunscreen works across all coat colours. The UV protection component is particularly valued for dark-coloured horses prone to sun bleaching, but it benefits grey, chestnut and bay horses equally in terms of coat conditioning and moisture retention through summer.
