Arkadiusz Fimmel is one of the most recognizable riders on the Polish show jumping scene. Founder of the KJ Fimmel Team club in Komorniki near Poznań, he regularly competes at both national and international levels, up to CSI4*. Among the most notable horses in his career are Zimowa Dama, Levis F, and Elastiqua – a Holsteiner mare with whom he won a medal at the Polish Indoor Senior Championships and achieved victories in Longines Ranking classes.

Although Elastiqua has extensive experience and many successes, she struggled for a long time with emotional challenges. The stress of competitions and transport affected her appetite and prevented her from fully focusing in the ring. That’s why Arkadiusz Fimmel decided to try Hempqualizer Compete – a natural supplement designed to support calmness and concentration in sport horses.

Below, Arkadiusz Fimmel describes how Elastiqua's behavior during shows and daily training changed after introducing the supplement. It’s not just a story about the effectiveness of the paste, but also about a conscious approach to managing a sport horse’s emotions – even at the highest level.

Elastiqua, a 12-year-old Holsteiner mare, is an experienced competitor in 150/155 classes at international shows. Despite her routine and frequent participation, she had long struggled with emotional stress, which impacted her performance during shows and transport. She could refuse food from day one of a competition, was extremely tense, and found it hard to function normally when away from home. Lack of relaxation and high stress levels made it difficult for her to focus during warm-up and in the arena.

Since starting Hempqualizer Compete, Elastiqua has become much more consistent in her results thanks to improved focus in the warm-up, calmness, and relaxation during her rounds. By administering the product from the day of travel, she is already more relaxed and calm during transport. Throughout the entire show, there are no longer any problems with her eating or being stressed in the ring.
Hempqualizer Compete is perfect for nervous horses like Ela – I highly recommend this product! :)
