Considered “The Horse World’s Most Trusted Name®,” Absorbine grooming and horsecare products WF Young. Wilbur delivered cargo with a wagon and a team of horses.
was founded in 1892 by Wilbur Fenelon Young and his wife Mary Ida. The company's first product was Absorbine® Veterinary Liniment. Mary Ida was an avid horse enthusiast and cared for all their horses. Wilbur's team would get tired after long days of pulling freight and often would be too sore the next day to pull cargo as effectively. With the help of his wife, Mary Ida, Wilbur developed a natural formula of herbs and essential oils that became Absorbine® Veterinary Liniment. In 1892 Wilbur decided to dedicate his life to helping keep horses as healthy as possible. Absorbine® was invented because of the compassion for horses that Wilbur and Mary Ida Young felt. They believed that although the horse was a "means to an end" for most people, they also needed to be treated humanely in return for all their hard work. A happy healthy horse is going to work more efficiently and require less care. Absorbine® believe that every product must be conceived with the horse's health and wellbeing in mind. Today, Absorbine® continues the spirit of caring for animals instilled by Mary Ida and Wilbur with constant innovation. Absorbine® has consistently updated its product line to better meet the evolving needs of horses and their owners. The company is recognized as a worldwide leader in innovative, specialised animal health care brands – including Absorbine® Liniment, UltraShield® fly control, ShowSheen® grooming products, Hooflex® hoof care and the Leather Therapy®range. More recently adding Silver Honey™ skin care to its family of trusted brands. Absorbine® is proud of it's unique heritage, and the 129-year legacy that has taken the form of several successful animal health care brands regarded internationally for their quality and dependability. It is the dedication and passion of Absorbine's loyal customers that has allowed such progress since 1892. This is the reason Absorbine® has become The Horse World’s Most Trusted Name®.
