Absorbine Showsheen Hair Polish & Detangler Spray
Absorbine Showsheen Hair Polish & Detangler Spray is a spray-on grooming product for horses and ponies that detangles manes and tails and leaves the coat smooth, sleek and shining. It is best for riders who want a fast finishing touch before a show, a lesson or a hack, and for anyone managing tangle-prone tails or a grey horse that picks up every stain in the field.
The formula coats each hair shaft so knots comb out more easily, reduces static, and repels dust, dirt and stains to keep your horse cleaner for longer. It requires no rinsing, so it fits straight into a normal grooming routine on the yard.

How to Use
- Groom the horse first and make sure the coat is clean and dry.
- Hold the bottle around 20cm from the coat and spray, working in sections over the body, mane and tail.
- Comb the mane and tail through while the product is still damp.
- Finish the body with a soft brush or a clean cloth to bring up the shine.
- Avoid the saddle patch, girth area and anywhere tack sits, as the treated coat becomes very slick, and keep the spray away from the eyes.

FAQ
Does Showsheen need to be rinsed off?
No. It is a spray-on product that requires no rinsing, so you can apply it and comb through as part of your normal grooming routine.
Can I use it before riding?
Yes, but keep it off the saddle patch, girth area and anywhere else tack or a rug sits. The treated coat becomes very slick, which can affect grip.
Will it help with a thick, tangled tail?
Yes. The formula coats each hair shaft and reduces static, so knots separate and comb out more easily with less pulling on the hair.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It is suitable for horses, ponies, cobs and warmbloods of all types.
Should the coat be wet or dry when I apply it?
Apply to a clean, dry coat for the best finish, spraying from around 20cm away and working in sections.
Is it only for shows?
No. It is used for show preparation but also for everyday grooming and quick tidy-ups, and it helps repel dust, dirt and stains between grooms.
