What works the best as far as Hoof Polish for Shiney Black Hoofs? What actually stays on??
Avoid water based hoof polish, imo its not as shiny and it comes off way to easy. I used it my first year showing and inside the arena was a little damp and it slowly started getting all dropped and lines showing from where it was running down off the hoof. I use Ultra hoof polish now, black and clear. I then go over the polish with Ultra Finishing Spray for their hooves, its makes the polish shine and repells dust. I was showing three horses back to back a few weeks ago and i painted all the hooves in the morning and sprayed Ultra over them, let it dry and put them back in the stall until i needed them, even hours later i just dusted them off and they were still shiny as if had just blacked them. Around the rip of the roof by the coronet band, i have a really big sharpie marker that i do that tiny line with so no polish gets into the hair.
What do you use for the shiney look on the face for shows???
Baby Oil Jell and Ultra black face highlighter
