I owe the good folks at Absorbine a massive apology, but the climate has just NOT been cooperative. I think we had something like 30+ straight days of rain, which is unreal for Carolina spring/summer.

Getting the horses in from the pasture. |
But ages ago,
Absorbine sent TFS a nifty new product called the TryPak. In this handy, dandy travel-sized kit is an equine body shampoo/conditioner, a green spot remover, and, naturally, their classic detangler/shine product, Showsheen.
So I set to work (once it finally took a rain break for about an hour) giving it a go with the ambassador of shine himself.

Maybe the world's shiniest horse isn't the best demo, but Encore is always clean! |
Solo was more than happy to be lavished with the attention as I soaked and scrubbed. Shampoo first, then the stain remover on his white socks, and I finished by brushing the showsheen over his body and through his tail.

Here, mom, let me adopt my most awkward pose for you! |

Now he has serious shine and immaculate white legs!!! |
How is that for a clean orange horse?! All three products worked really well and I was especially impressed with the stain remover, which got his legs amazingly white. I absolutely recommend you give it a try! We may even have a contest for you to win some of your own coming up shortly -- I just have to check with Absorbine, who may have disowned me by now for taking so long!
Hopefully, the sun is shining where you are today, we finally have a few moments respite from the clouds peeing on us here! So I'm heading out to enjoy the blue skies while I can --
Love the TryPak :)
ReplyDeleteThat stain remover is amazing on white legs. I am (fortunately) chrome free on the horse front, but I used it on one of the show horses in the barn with knee high stockings, and it worked great!
ReplyDeleteIt was great! I have to say, I am very grateful that Encore's legs are all brown!
ReplyDeleteI've used and loved show sheen for years now. I used to love the spot remover too but now I have a horse with absolutely no white on him at all. (And believe me, that wasn't an accident!)
ReplyDeleteLove the original showsheen, but I have to try the rest of the pack! Four white socks for me!
