Some horses never struggle with lack of energy. K3 van de Zeilhoek – “Krysia”, a 2015 KWPN mare, is exactly that type. Even though she is already competing at 1.40 m level and receives only moderate-calorie feed mixes, at shows she can “ignite” so strongly that warm-up and handling at the showground turn into a logistical nightmare. Emotions build up, and single stimuli trigger explosive reactions that make life difficult for the whole team.

The author of this case study, Katarzyna Tobiszewska, was searching for a solution that would only work where the problem occurred – at competitions – and would not carry any risk of doping. That’s how she discovered Hempqualizer Compete. Instead of simply taking it “on faith,” she ran a straightforward A/B test: competitions with and without the paste. The difference? Bigger than expected. According to Katarzyna, the mare was calmer, more focused, but not dulled – and the groom’s job stopped feeling like an extreme sport.

In the following part she shares observations from several outings, how she administered the paste, and the practical takeaways: how to manage emotional overflow without taking away the horse’s willingness to jump. For Katarzyna, the effect was so convincing that Hempqualizer Compete landed straight on the “must-have” list in her show trunk. Will it work the same way for you? Read the details and conclusions straight from the arena.

Born 2015, mare, KWPN

Nickname: “Krysia”

Showjumper, recently started competing at 1.40 m level

“Krysia digests feed very well and has never had problems with lack of energy. That’s why she’s on rations with a moderate energy level – appropriate for her workload. Still, at shows energy and emotions can accumulate to the point of ‘explosions.’ Warm-up and handling at the showground become almost impossible – or at least very difficult.

I started looking for a supplement that would address the problem only at competitions – and that’s when I came across Hempqualizer Compete, which importantly contains no doping substances.

I tested it several times: some starts without the paste, some with. The effect after giving the product exceeded my expectations. The mare was calm, focused, not dulled, and easy to handle without putting the groom’s health at risk 😉. All those previous overreactions that used to require minutes of calming down were reduced to minimal responses that normalized within moments.

Heempqualizer Compete is efficient, effective, and absolutely worth recommending. For me it’s now a must-have in the show trunk.”
