Weaver Equine expands grooming line with Shapley’s acquisition

Weaver Brands is expanding its horse care lineup by acquiring Shapley’s, a long-standing name in equine grooming. The move aims to broaden access to grooming, skin and coat care products for horse owners and riders.

What changed

The acquisition brings Shapley’s grooming products into Weaver Equine’s portfolio, adding products such as M-T-G®, shampoos, conditioners, hair polish, fly spray and other grooming essentials. The deal leverages nearly 90 years of Shapley’s history in the horse-care market and aligns with Weaver’s goal to offer trusted care products for daily horse maintenance and event preparation.

Who is affected

Horse owners, riders, and care professionals who rely on grooming and skin/coat care products may see a broader selection under a single brand family. The change could affect customers who previously bought Shapley’s products from other channels, now through Weaver’s expanded distribution. Employees and suppliers connected to both brands may also be involved in the transition as products are integrated.

Practical next steps

If you use Shapley’s products or Weaver’s grooming lines, check Weaver’s official channels for availability and where to buy. Look for product compatibility notes if you switch between product lines (for example, shampoo versus coat conditioner). If you’re managing a stable or stable event prep, review your current grooming supplies to determine if you should stock up on trusted formulas from the combined lineup. For questions about the merger or product support, contact Weaver Brands’ customer service for guidance on where to purchase and any suggested product substitutions.
