| Hoof Polish Apply Pam cooking spray to your horse's hooves after polishing them, and allow it to dry. It helps moisturize your horse's hooves and gives them a high gloss shine. If your horse has white hooves you can use clear hoof polish on them, try using peanut oil instead. The oil produces more gloss then commerical hoof plishes, plus it does not dry our the hooves like plish does. After applying a commercial plish spray hooves with a can of aeroshol finger nail polish dryer. Want glossy high shine hooves for the ring? Buff hooves lightly with a hand helded sander, or scrub with Whisk and a copper brush first, then apply 1 coat of Ultra's Hoof Polish in either clear or black. I normally wait 10 minutes before I spray on Ultra's Hoof Polish Enhancer. It is like a laquar and creates a glassy surface! Use Ultra's Conditioning Hoof Polish remover after every polishing! |
| White Onion Polish Use the juice of a white onion the night before or morning of a show to help brighten the hooves. Just rub the cut side of one half of the onion onto the hoof. |
