Absorbine, Family Owned



Founders of W.F. Young, Wilbur and Mary Ida, on Claude and Jake

Did you know that W.F.Young, Inc. is a family owned American business and always has been? We have owned and cared for horses throughout the companies history. I wanted to share our love of horses, so here are some pictures of us "horsing around".

Tyler and Jean recently visited the Friesians Of Majesty farm in Townshend, VT with their son Trevor and friend Peyton. The Friesians Of Majesty farm is home to Othello and Mathijs, champion stallions. If you like Friesians, check out their site!

Jamie is our New Products Consultant. She has owned horses for most of her life and is a passionate animal lover. We use her valuable insight into horse care as we develop new products here at W.F. Young, Inc.



Your faithful blog/facebook administrator Sean, great great grandson, on Danny the Percheron.

Danny was my horse growing up. My mother Jamie used him for all sorts of tasks on her land and he had a huge heart. Danny was a forgiving mount for us kids to learn on, but he REALLY loved to pull! We miss you Danny.

Jaime (spelled differently than her aunt's name) is in charge of developing innovative horse products here at Absorbine. Her latest project was to extend the ShowSheen line and update it with hair health ingredients to promote your horse's beauty from the inside-out. Jaime and Jamie (J squared) work to combine our many years of experience with modern technology and practices.

One of our favorite horses named 8N. He stills works fine.

Horse Rescues Rock!

You don't have to be a horse person to admire a horse rescue operation, but if you are involved with horses you know just how vital they are to our four legged partners. Horse ownership and care is pricey and America's job shortage means that many people can no longer afford to care for their horses. If they can't sell them or give them away, they end up being released into the wild or slaughtered. If they are very very lucky, they get taken in by a rescue shelter. 

Horse rescues take these horses in as guests, feed them and very often nurse them back to health. Their next task is to find a new home for them, hopefully their 'forever home' where they will live happily for the rest of their lives. All of this is done on a shoestring budget funded by donations and their own pockets. Horse rescues are the buffer zone for homeless horses and they are more vital than ever!
At Absorbine, we concern ourselves with the well being of the horse. It is the reason Absorbine Veterinary Liniment was invented in 1892.

At the end of 2010 we were able to send out a little product. 20 wonderful horse rescues received pallets like this one, hope you find somewhere to put it all!

This is a photo from Hunter Creek Rescue Ranch. They will be spreading this out to other rescues and horses in need in the area.
