"Easy to apply and not super shiny. I can’t stand my horses hoof looking like patent leather. This has more of a flat black finish. Stays on and most important will wash off with soap and water and elbow grease."

β€” Anne

"Doesn’t provide any shine and has bubbles all over hoof. Doesn’t repel dirt. Wished I didn’t buy it. I thought it was supposed to provide shine. Nope."

Bottom Line

If you are okay with a less shiny, flat finish, this product could be worth considering. However, ifshine is a priority, it may be best to look for alternatives.
