Description 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 âblisteringâ 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 Worldâs Most Trusted Name.
