How did we get our start?
Our story starts in late 19th-century Massachusetts. Mary Ida Young knew there had to be a more humane, natural way to treat lameness in horses. She formulated a tincture of herbs and essential oils to increase blood flow and speed healing.
Is Mary Ida's family still involved?
Yes! WF Young, makers of Absorbine, is a 5th generation owned and operated family business located in Massachusetts, USA.
Why do we love what we do?
At WF Young, we passionate about carrying on the heritage of innovation to help animals live their best lives possible. Your stories warm our hearts.

Driven by purpose. Guided by Science.
At WF Young, we’re not just advancing animal wellness standards, we’re reinventing them – so you can enjoy more quality time with the animals and pets you love.

Better Application, Better Protection
· Apply to a clean horse so the spray sticks directly to the hair, not to mud or dust.
· Shake well before you start applying.
· Apply enough product to be effective, which is about 45 sprays (or 2 ounces of product) per application. The coat should feel damp but not soaked.
· Cover the entire hair shaft by brushing the hair up before spraying, then brush down for even coverage.

A Legacy More Than 125 Years in the Making
Every day at Absorbine is a celebration of a legacy that began with a truly extraordinary couple: Mary Ida and Wilbur F. Young.
A labor of love, they set out to find an alternative to the common 19th-century practice of “blistering” lame horses. Knowing there had to be a better, more humane way, Mary Ida developed a special blend of herbs into an essential oils tincture, and Wilbur rounded out the formula with a few more natural ingredients using knowledge he gained working part time for a pharmacist. The result of their teamwork is Absorbine Veterinary Liniment, which has been loved by horse owners for over 125 years.
Through the years we have stayed true to our mission to provide innovative, high quality animal care products. Our products are used by horse owners around the world, and we work hard every day to be The Horse World’s Most Trusted Name.

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2023
--Update... There comes a time when you find a great company and stick with it. I wrote the above review and stand by it. Absorbine also stands by their products. After posting my review I was contacted by Absorbine and offered a full refund. As I said in the review above, I've used their Ultra Shield EX product and it works extremely well for me. I'm raising the review to 3 stars for the customer service, who went out of their way to make it right. VERY RARE. If they develop an improved formula for the Green I will try it again, but until then I see many gallons of EX in the future.
