Absorbine Supershine Hoof Polish

Absorbine SuperShine Hoof Polish & Sealer 236mL – Black or Clear

Give your horse's hooves a brilliant, mirror-like finish with Absorbine SuperShine Hoof Polish & Sealer. Designed for professional show-ring presentation, this quick-drying hoof polish delivers a smooth, high-gloss shine in less than 60 seconds.

Available in Black or Clear, SuperShine enhances the appearance of the hoof while forming a protective surface barrier that helps seal out excess moisture and prevent dust and dirt from settling on the polished finish.

The formula stays on the outer surface of the hoof wall rather than penetrating deeply, and naturally wears away within approximately one week through normal paddock and stable activity.

Each 236mL container includes a convenient built-in application brush, making SuperShine easy to apply before competitions, shows, presentations or special occasions.

Why Choose Absorbine SuperShine?

Professional Presentation

Absorbine SuperShine is designed to produce a smooth, reflective finish that enhances your horse's overall presentation.

Whether preparing for dressage, showing, breed classes or other equestrian events, well-presented hooves provide the finishing touch to a carefully groomed horse.

Fast-Drying Formula

SuperShine dries in under 60 seconds, making it particularly convenient for last-minute grooming and show preparation.

Once dry, the polished finish helps resist dust and dirt settling on the hoof surface.

Moisture-Sealing Protection

The polish creates a protective surface barrier that helps prevent excess moisture entering through the outer hoof wall.

According to Absorbine, this sealing action can help harden soft hooves by reducing excess moisture exposure.

Surface-Only Application

SuperShine is designed to remain on the exterior of the hoof wall rather than penetrating beyond its outer layer.

The polish gradually wears away through ordinary stable, paddock and pasture activities.

Directions for Use

1. Thoroughly clean the outside of the hoof wall, removing dirt, dust and loose debris.

2. Ensure the hoof surface is completely dry before application.

3. Select Black or Clear SuperShine according to your preferred finish.

4. Use the built-in brush to apply an even coat to the outer hoof wall.

5. Allow the polish to dry thoroughly.

6. For a more pronounced finish, apply a second coat once the first has dried.

7. After use, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly around the neck of the container to help prevent the lid from sticking.

8. Close the container securely after each use.

For best results, apply one or two coats to a clean, dry hoof.
