ShowBarn Secret equine grooming product line coat care mane tail and show prep

Grooming Your Horse for Competition

In the show ring, preparation shows long before the first stride. Great grooming is not about shortcuts. It is about consistency, restraint, and respect for the horse.

ShowBarn Secret® by Draw It Out® was created for riders who care as much about how their horse feels as how they look. Each product is designed to support clean presentation, healthy skin and hair, and calm confidence under pressure.

The ShowBarn Secret® Approach

Competition grooming should enhance the horse, not mask problems or overload the coat. ShowBarn Secret® focuses on lightweight formulas that layer cleanly, perform reliably, and stay predictable from warm-up to last class.

  • Clean, manageable manes and tails without buildup
  • Healthy-looking coats with natural sheen
  • Skin-friendly formulas designed for repeated use
  • Show-safe confidence for USEF and FEI competition

Core Grooming Essentials

Detangler and Shine

Designed for daily or show-day use, ShowBarn Secret® Detangler and Shine helps maintain smooth, manageable manes and tails without heavy residue. It supports easy brushing, reduces breakage, and adds a clean, polished finish.

Powder Coat

A talc-free powder option for finishing legs and problem areas. Powder Coat is formulated to go on light, brush out clean, and support a polished appearance without clogging pores or irritating sensitive horses.

Braiding Spray

Created to provide controlled grip and clean separation, ShowBarn Secret® Braiding Spray helps braids stay neat without stiffness or flaking. It supports precision work while remaining gentle on the hair.

Skin and Hair Enhancer

A versatile grooming staple that supports coat condition and skin comfort. Used sparingly, it integrates easily into regular grooming routines without weighing the hair down.

Bathing and Coat Care

Whitening Shampoo

Formulated to enhance brightness while remaining gentle on the coat, ShowBarn Secret® Whitening Shampoo helps maintain clean color and clarity without harsh bleaching agents.

Indian Lilac Shampoo

Designed for horses that need a calm, balanced cleanse. This shampoo focuses on gentle cleaning and skin comfort, making it suitable for regular use during heavy show schedules.

Waterless 2-in-1 Shampoo

Ideal for quick touch-ups between classes or during travel. This rinse-free option cleans and conditions without stripping the coat or requiring water access.

Why Indian Lilac 2-in-1 Shampoo?

Calm, Balanced Cleansing

Designed to cleanse without overwhelming sensitive skin, making it suitable for horses prone to irritation during intense grooming schedules.

Efficient and Practical

Rinses clean and fits easily into busy barn routines, helping riders stay focused on preparation rather than cleanup.

Built for Repeated Use

Naturally derived ingredients selected to support coat condition and comfort without stripping essential oils.

Quiet Confidence in the Ring

ShowBarn Secret® is not about dramatic shine or overdone finishes. It is about refinement. Products that behave the same way every time. Grooming that supports the horse instead of fighting it.

When your grooming routine is predictable, your horse stays relaxed. When your products work quietly, your presentation speaks louder.

That is the ShowBarn Secret® difference.
