- [The Showing Journal](https://absorbine.co.uk/the-showing-journal/): The dust has settled after HOYS and for a couple of months the pressure is off at the yard of top show producer and Absorbine brand ambassador, Jayne Ross.  But don’t be fooled into thinking they have their feet up – there is plenty to do keeping some horses ticking over and working with an exciting bunch of new babies!  We spoke to Jayne for a seasonal update.
- [Royal Windsor](https://absorbine.co.uk/royal-windsor/): The Royal Windsor Horse Show has a special atmosphere, and has always been a happy hunting ground for Absorbine’s brand ambassadors. The weather played it’s part this year, but the team at Windsor and HPower were well organised, the tractors had a good system going to get horse boxes on and off the showground quickly, and the all-weather surfaces really came into their own.
- [This is showing, and these are horses… part 2!](https://absorbine.co.uk/this-is-showing-and-these-are-horses-part-2/): The season has had a rather soggy start, hasn’t it? We have had a couple of shows cancelled which is such a shame for everyone concerned when you consider all the hard work that goes into organising an event.
- [This is showing, and these are horses… part 1!](https://absorbine.co.uk/this-is-showing-and-these-are-horses-part-1/): The showing season is off again and we went to our first proper show this week. We had a good day and now have a couple of championship wins in hand, two second places and a very satisfying third place with one of the younger horses.

- [Hoof care prep from Natalie McGoldrick, Equine vet & event rider  ](https://absorbine.co.uk/hoof_care/): Hoof care and preparation is an essential part of pre-event planning; the old adage “no hoof, no horse” should always be in the back of your mind if you own horses. 
- [Top Tack Tips from Jayne Ross](https://absorbine.co.uk/top-tack-tips-from-jayne-ross/): Worrying about show ring etiquette can be off-putting for novices and knowing what tack you can or should use for your horse can be a minefield. I believe in keeping it simple, making sure the tack looks good, is comfortable and suitable for the type of horse.   
- [Winner of the Horse & Hound Absorbine® Groom of the Year Award, Tilly Hughes tells us about her “year out” to work with horses!](https://absorbine.co.uk/horse-hound-award2021/): Tilly said “I couldn’t believe it when I got the phone call to say I had been nominated for the award because I haven’t been a groom for that long really. There are so many great grooms out there who have such a lot of experience it can sometimes feel a bit daunting. Being nominated gave me such a boost, it lets you know you are looking after the horses well and that you are appreciated.”

After arriving back late Sunday night from a successful Stoneleigh horse show where the horses did us so proud, winning 5 HOYS qualifiers and gaining another 3 HOYS tickets, we then left on midday Monday for the Great Yorkshire show.  What a fabulous time we had - winning Championships in the Coloured and Hunter classes then standing top and qualifying for HOYS in the Ladies.

- [More Tips From The Top – Emma and Kevin McNab share their event preparation tips](https://absorbine.co.uk/more-tips-from-the-top-emma-and-kevin-mcnab-share-their-event-preparation-tips/): If we worked on a perfectly level surface daily, then went to an event that was on unlevel grassy hills and expected them to have the same balance it would be fair to say this would be very difficult for them. Event horses must have very good foot work and be equipped to perform on sometimes terrible going, so, diversity in training surfaces is key and hacking is great training for this. Being able to ride out in the open and not always around the school is very important for a horses' frame of mind – if you make variety part of the routine their focus will be much better when you get to a show.
- [Back doing what we love!](https://absorbine.co.uk/back-doing-what-we-love/): "Team Ross has been a hive of activity in recent weeks, and I feel we have gone from one extreme to the other.

- [A HOYS Trip Down Memory Lane](https://absorbine.co.uk/a-hoys-trip-down-memory-lane/): We all know that this year has been very different for the showing world and sadly HOYS had to be cancelled for the first time since the event was establishment in 1949. Everyone is missing HOYS and that “end of term” feeling, including “Team Ross”.  As we can’t be there, we thought we would take a trip down memory lane with Jayne…
- [Team Ross – out on the road again!](https://absorbine.co.uk/team-ross-out-on-the-road-again/): After the strangest of summers, it has been good to get back out to a couple of shows and catch up with friends that we haven’t seen for such a long time!

- [Producing a great show](https://absorbine.co.uk/producing-a-great-show/): Finally, I can say that showing has started up again, albeit in a very different way and under careful scrutiny.  We have been to a couple of shows now, with only 5 allowed in the ring, a separate way in and out, no ride judge and of course all the social distancing measures we have come to expect.  It is not what we would wish for, but we are out and about again and that is the most important thing.
- [Thinking back – looking forward!](https://absorbine.co.uk/thinking-back-looking-forward/): Who could have imagined at the start of this year that we would be finding ourselves in this quite bizarre situation and that our industry would be at a near standstill in June?  I thank my lucky stars that my family, friends, and colleagues are safe, and I am in awe of the front-line staff and key workers who have done so much for us all.

We asked 3 experts how all of us can best use this extra time, in particular, focusing on groundwork training.
- [The Show Must Go On!](https://absorbine.co.uk/the-show-must-go-on/): Covid19 has affected all our lives, in some ways yard life has changed considerably and in others not so much. I am lucky enough to have grooms who live onsite and with their help we are keeping things running on a “winter” regime.
- [Dealing with flies](https://absorbine.co.uk/1424-2/): We all look forward to summer and seeing our horses grazing in the warm sunshine, but no sooner does the weather improve than the flies come out! Added to that we have lovely hot days and then it pours with rain!
- [Show Planning](https://absorbine.co.uk/show-planning/): This is a great time of year to accommodate the needs of sponsors especially with our horses coming in scruffy after winter. They all need a tidy up so it’s an ideal opportunity for photo shoots. Without sponsors in the equestrian world we would all be in a lot of trouble, so it is nice to give something back.  It’s much easier now with social media, so it’s not hard to keep on top of things if you are organised.

On Wednesday, the first day of competition, Cambridge and Holly were 7th in the Advanced Medium Restricted Championship. They were the first to go and a rode a good test with a couple of minor mistakes. Jo said “He was a little underpowered so plenty of room for improvement but it is amazing to think that a year ago he was on box rest due to stress cracks in his feet and we were unsure whether we would ever resolve the situation. He had a year off but we all believed in him and through endless patience and diligence we now have a fabulous horse to train on with and good feet to boot!”   Holly Bates and Chambridge, 7th in Advanced Medium Restricted  at British Dressage Winter Championship 2016   The second day of competition saw Dorando, owned by Ali Fernyhough, and Holly compete in the Elementary Open. “They did a great test to finish 8th on 69.06. He was incredibly brave and well behaved in the atmosphere and we are very proud of him especially as he is just rising 6 years of age. Still room for improvement but what a clever talented young chap!” Said Jo. Fantastic results, well done to all the team. 2016 looks set to be an exciting year for Jo and Holly, best of luck to you from all the team at Absorbine UK.
- [Winter Grooming with Absorbine](https://absorbine.co.uk/12/):    Winter Grooming with Absorbine   As we move through February and, hopefully, the last few months of winter weather, you may be feeling as impatient for spring to arrive. This time of year our once luscious green fields have turned into mud baths, and we continue the battle of trying to keep our horses as clean as possible.   As the longer days and greener fields of spring are still a few weeks away, we thought we’d offer some ideas to help your horse beat the winter blues with some winter grooming tips.   Since Christmas we’ve had down pours of rain, sub-zero temperatures, and the odd glimmer of sunshine. The turbulent weather means one thing, mud. Some of the hardy breeds may not require a rug, but it inevitably leads to them rolling in the first patch of mud they find. Even those with rugs, the mud creeps in leaving their coats, manes, and tails a muddy, matted mess. And with the temperatures still hovering around freezing, a wash-down with the hose is simply not an option.   Luckily, Absorbine® has the answer to winter grooming frustrations: ShowSheen Miracle Groom®. A waterless product, ShowSheen Miracle Groom naturally cleans, conditions, deodorizes, detangles, and shines in just one application.   With no need for soap and water, this non-greasy cleaner can safely be used in cold weather. Before you use it, you’ll want to let the mud on your horse dry for best results. Brush off the loose dirt, then lightly spray the area directly or onto a towel.  Rub the product backward through the horse’s coat. You can also use Miracle Groom on the mane and tail, making this 5-in-1 product useful as a cleaner, conditioner, detangler, and deodorizer.   No matter what the weather, it’s important to keep your horse clean and healthy. With Miracle Groom, you’re one step closer to a clean horse without getting your hands wet and freezing cold.

It is ideal for restoring old, dried out leather and helps it last longer with regained suppleness and strength as well as inhibiting mould and mildew. To use, apply to clean leather with a damp cloth. It leaves no residue or moisture build-up and works cumulatively as the effects are reinforced with each use because the mould and mildew inhibitors stay in the leather, not just on the surface.  Leather Therapy Leather Laundry Solution and Laundry Rinse & Dressing The Leather Therapy Leather Laundry Solution is designed to be used in the washing machine on natural and synthetic leather, fabric and sheepskin items. It restores the soft feel of suede or smooth leather, fabrics and fleece; one wash will bring comfort and life back to the leather. Laundry Solution works by removing abrasive dirt particles while adding rich leather and fabric conditioners. The patented formula is pH neutral and ideal for use on full seat breeches, full and half chaps, sheepskin saddle pads and leather clothing. For best results it should be used with the conditioner Laundry Rinse & Dressing. The rinse formula is also pH-neutral and biodegradable with anti-static properties. It can be used as a wipe on dressing for extra dry leather after washing or 1-2 capfuls can be added to the last rinse cycle of a wash. The Leather Therapy Saddle Pad & Blanket Wash The Leather Therapy Saddle Pad & Blanket Wash is a lavender scented laundry concentrate for natural and synthetic fabrics. Added to your washing loads, Leather Therapy Saddle Pad & Blanket Wash will break down the heavy soils, protein-based grime and contaminates. Ideal for rugs, saddle pads, boots, wraps and girths as it helps eliminate odours leaving them refreshed and clean. For the best results it should be used with Leather Therapy Saddle Pad & Blanket Rinse; a deodorising rinse that provides sanitising agents and anti-static properties to your wash load. To use, add the Wash to the detergent dispenser and the Rinse to the conditioner dispenser of your washing machine. Both formulas are pH-neutral and biodegradable so they are gentle on fabrics and do not damage waterproofing.
