Absorbine ShowSheen Hair Polish & Detangler

After a wash ShowSheen works at its sharpest according to Absorbine: rinse thoroughly, remove excess water with a sweat scraper and then spray. Stroke the coat flat with your hand or a fine brush, spray mane and tail and comb through.

In between washes you use it on a dry coat. Brush the horse thoroughly first, then spray and hand stroke or brush in the direction of the hair. If there are burrs in the tail, let the hair dry before you comb, otherwise you pull hair out with them.

Do not spray the saddle area. Shake the bottle well before use and store it where it cannot freeze.

This spray bottle is the handiest choice for one or two horses and for the grooming kit that travels to shows: you spray directly, including from below and upside down, and you have nothing to decant.

If you groom several horses or empty the bottle quickly, the Absorbine ShowSheen Hair Polish & Detangler in 3.8 litres works out cheaper in use. If your horse needs to be clean first, the Absorbine ShowSheen Shampoo & Conditioner 591 ml is the right step, or the Absorbine Miracle Groom Spray 946 ml when washing with water is not an option. If you only want a detangler for mane and tail, the Effol mane and tail detangler 500 ml may be enough.

Shake the bottle well before use. Wash and rinse the horse, remove excess water with a sweat scraper and spray ShowSheen onto coat, mane and tail. Stroke flat with your hand or a fine brush and comb mane and tail through. On a dry coat, spray after brushing. Skip the saddle area and store the bottle where it cannot freeze.
