Absorbine has recently released a new version of Showsheentm that works like hair spray, providing continuous spray from any direction. This is something that I think helps to coat uniformly and reduce the chance of overapplication. You can watch a video about how it works on Youtube.
Absorbine has graciously offered five bottles of the new Showsheentm to BTB readers. They let me design the contest to select the recipients, and here is my idea.
To enter the contest, leave a comment on this blog post (sign it so I can identify you!) and do one of these three things:
- Finish the sentence ShowSheentm makes my horses coat so bright___________
- Finish the sentence My horse needs help in the shine department because_______
- Write a haiku poem about ShowSheentm (poem form is 5/7/5 syllables) Ex. Riley glistens with / The light from a thousand suns / "That's enough ShowSheen."
Criteria for judging? Originality/uniqueness, cleverness, endorsements from other commenters.

My horse needs help in the shine department because the mud she coats herself with doesn't shine half as much as the Show Sheen I want to coat her with.
ReplyDeleteMy horse needs help in the shine department because...we are entering our first show on April
ReplyDelete23rd.
I need Show Sheen Spray because I want her to shine so bright that the judge is blinded and misses any issues that might arise during our Intro Test B.
Issues like - prematurely exiting the dressage ring - running thru the test instead of walk / trot - flying bucks, kicks, or rears - calling loudly to her buddy back in his stall.
Show Sheen may not help with any of the above issues, but it would make her black and white coat look awesome and blue ribbon perfect!
ShowSheentm makes my horses coat so bright I could grow daisies in his stall. Who needs the sun?
ReplyDeleteMy horse needs help in the shine department because, as a grey, he is obligated to lie in copious amounts of poo, which render his coat a dull sort of greenish brown color, and it then needs help to look nice.
My Haiku:
O big fat grey horse
lying in steaming manure
Showsheen will fix it
My horse needs help in the shine department because she is black and collects dust like a high-tech dust mop. And I love how full and silky Show Sheen makes her tail.
ReplyDeleteShowSheentm makes my horses coat so bright, the judge has to wear sunglasses B-)
ReplyDeleteMy horse needs help in the shine department because she doesn't like coat supplements, and has an intense fear of water- so bathing is rare, and difficult to do before every show.
Mohegan shines bright
Like a beacon, or the sun...
Still need more show sheen!
Theres my rather lame rushed attempt :P

ReplyDeleteShowSheen makes my horses coat so bright that she blinds the traffic that's a quarter mile away - you wouldn't believe how many cars have gone through the fences! ;)
ReplyDelete-Kaylyn

My horses need help in the shine department because it might help them snag new adoptive homes :)
ReplyDeleteMy horse needs help in the shine department because its not yet USDF/FEI legal to inlay your horse with swarovski crystal.
ReplyDeleteShowSheen makes my horse's coat so bright that people think Charlie Sheen is named after it.
ReplyDeleteThat was bad, but that's the best I got right now ;)
-Breanna (and Greta Golightly and her slick, shining coat)
ShowSheen makes my horses coat so bright that hopefully she will look good, even if I look like I just rolled out of the hay loft (or the manure pile on my bad days).
ReplyDeleteMy horse needs help in the shine department because she is a grey, and therefore has a love affair will all things dirty, dusty, muddy, and generally icky.
Sheen! Now my horse looks
The princess she always acts
Though I know better.

ReplyDeleteto score 60s in dressage
Tia must radiate
I'm attempting 2nd level tests in less than two weeks, and my mare's trace clip is still highly visible, not matter how much i groom her. maybe extra Show Sheen will hide the lines!

along with weather, spring brings mud and lots of hair, Show Sheen would be nice
ReplyDelete-Carly
Hampton loves the mud /
ReplyDeleteBut a showhorse he must be /
Showsheen our rescue?
Other species too,
ReplyDeleteNeed hair to shine and sparkle.
Don't forget the dogs!
My horse needs help in the shine department because he thinks he is a chinchilla with his dust baths, the dusty matte finish is hard to get out even after a bath.

My horse needs help in the shine department because he's coming off a year and a half of being lame and recovering from rain rot and starvation. His coat looks like a cheap plush toy.
ReplyDeleteHe's doing so much better but I think show sheen would give him a great confidence booster;)
ShowSheen makes my horses coat so bright that she looks like a prized dressage pony, even if I look like I just rolled out of the hay loft (or the manure pile on my bad days).
ReplyDeleteAubrey H, Virginia (resubmitted once I saw I only needed to do one!!)
I'm half horse, half ass—
ReplyDeleteTherefore, not a horse owner.
Can I still compete?

ReplyDeleteMy Belgian makes the sun blush
Blazing gold thunder.

can't wait to see what fen has to say!!!
ReplyDeleteMy horse needs help in the shine department because he is just leaving his winter yak look behind
ReplyDeleteMy horse needs help in the shine department because he lives in a muddy Washington pasture with an old-fart-of-a-good-horse who has taught him how to roll in it. Show season is coming up and our show sheen bottle is completely dry!
ReplyDeleteWinter will not leave
ReplyDeleteMy arab is like a yak
now a shiny yak
Do I get bonus points if I do all three?!
ReplyDelete1. ShowSheentm makes my horses coat so bright that when she admires her reflection in the mirror, she's really admiring the mirrors reflection in her coat.
2. My horse needs help in the shine department because what self respecting princess mare doesn't love to be the shiniest horse on the whole farm? If the sun's not jealous, it's not good enough.
3. Lucy admires
The sparkle and sheen
That is some good stuff
Here goes!
ReplyDeleteInexperienced,
I sprayed it on her withers
And went bareback. Whoops.

ReplyDeletemcfawn, another winner - but I've got my glue gun ready!
I loved all of these entries, had a good laugh. I think bonus points for doing all 3.
My horse needs help in the shine department because he likes to nap in the poo pile.
ReplyDeleteShowsheen makes my horses coat to bright, the sun is put to shame!
ReplyDeleteAnd my horse needs help in the shine department because all the dark specks on his fleabitten grey coat puts a damper on the light grey. This being his first show season, Blu needs quite a bit of help showing off his pretty hiney!
The Big Warmblood Guy/
ReplyDeleteLooks down his large Roman nose/
At the un-Showsheened.
Are you a lesser/
Equine, he is seen to say/
As I will blind you.
Go forth, if you wish/
You will have no chance to win/
I eclipse the sun.
Show Sheen with grooming
ReplyDeleteThe shine helps my fortitude
Calms my attitude
