Polish and Shine — the Perfect Finish
Hoof care products for a perfect finish were traditionally used mainly at competitions and presentations. At larger shows, stallion or mare inspection, or high-stakes tournaments, the overall appearance is also crucial—and this includes the perfect finish on the hoof.
Natural Finish with Products from andis Hufpflege
Nowadays, in the age of social media, where more and more riders and hoof care professionals are posting daily, the perfect finish is becoming increasingly important—after all, everything should "shine" on Facebook and Instagram too.
Andreas (Andi) Hundsmann, the farrier behind andis Hufpflege, has been a certified farrier and farriery instructor since 2006. Drawing on his professional experience, he began producing hoof care products in organic quality several years ago. He places great emphasis on ensuring that his products are 100% natural and free from preservatives , artificial dyes, and petroleum based carriers .
This includes Polish and Shine—two products designed for the perfect finish.
Both Shine and Polish have their fans among riders and hoof care professionals. According to Andi, it's more or less a matter of personal preference, with the two being equally popular—some prefer Polish, while others favor Shine to showcase the hoof in the best possible way.
We have therefore decided to include both Shine and Polish in our range and see which of the two becomes more popular among our customers.
Application and Safety Instructions for Using Polish and Shine
When using the products, ensure that the hoof is clean and dry before application. This is important both to achieve the desired optimal finish and to prevent contamination of the product.
Polish — A Product for Hoof Care and Finish
Polish can be applied after shoeing or when a horse is being presented at a competition or a mare/stallion inspection. It is important that the hoof is clean and dry before the application. Polish has a fluid-like texture and comes in a brush bottle. Be sure to shake the Polish thoroughly before use.
Ingredients
- Pure plant-based and essential oils
- natural resins
- beeswax
- Natural fats
Of course, Polish is also free from colorants and preservatives.
When applied sparingly, meaning just a thin layer, one bottle of Polish generally lasts for about 120-130 hooves. As a rule, andis Hufpflege products should always be used sparingly.
Shine — Glossy, Well-Cared-For Hooves
Shine was also developed by Andi Hundsmann for achieving the perfect finish and exceptionally glossy hooves. If you, as a hoof care professional, are active on social media and enjoy sharing your work, or if you want your horse’s hooves to shine for a show or photo shoot, Shine is an excellent choice.
Shine not only provides a brilliant gloss to the horse's hooves but also features all-natural ingredients and antibacterial oils.
Ingredients
- Beeswax
- Pure & essential oils
- Natural fats
- Plant-based oils
- Natural resins
Of course, Shine is also free from colorants and preservatives.
When applied sparingly and appropriately, a single container of Shine usually covers around 130-140 hooves. However, coverage may vary depending on hoof size and the intensity of use.
As a general rule, andis Hufpflege products should always be applied sparingly. With these products, the principle is not "more is better," but rather "less is more"! Typically, the products have a shelf life of around 6 months. Ensure that they are not contaminated during use to maintain their quality.
Application of Hoof Care Products with Glue-On Shoes
At this point, we would like to briefly address the use of care products such as Polish and Shine in combination with glue-on shoes since oil-based products applied to the hoof wall can potentially affect the adhesive bond between the glue-on tab and the hoof.
We recommend discontinuing the use of the product well before applying glue-on shoes. Although hoof-care products typically do not affect the adhesive bond when the shoe has been applied properly, it is advisable to prevent direct contact between the adhesive area and the product to ensure to be on the safe side.
