In the equestrian world, more attention is being given to the comfort of our equine seniors — those who have given us years of service, loyalty, and trust.
Solo, an 18-year-old Old Kladruber gelding, has been a faithful partner to his owner @k.a.l.i.n.k.a2002 for years. They practice dressage regularly and occasionally compete. But like many senior horses, Solo began to face mobility issues that gradually drained the joy from his daily activity.

He was diagnosed with spavin, coronary joint degeneration, lameness, and stiffness — despite diligent supplementation and care. When traditional methods no longer sufficed, his owner turned to Hempqualizer+.

The results were transformative — Solo regained lightness in his movement, became more eager to work, and his daily life became noticeably easier and more comfortable.

Below, Solo’s owner shares the full story of his return to form — a story that may inspire you to support your own senior horse, too.

Name: Solo
Age: 18 years
Sex: Gelding
Breed: Old Kladruber

Background & Character:
Solo is calm and steady; he’s been with me for five years. We routinely train dressage, and he occasionally competes. Over time, age-related wear began to take its toll.

Symptoms & Issues:
About a year ago, we diagnosed early spavin and degeneration of the coronary joint. He showed intermittent lameness, stiffness, and reluctance to move — especially in flexion and forward work.

Previous Treatments:
Herbal joint supplements, Cartophen and Orling Gelapony Arthro were used. They provided some relief, but results were modest.

Outcomes with Hempqualizer+:
Since adding the paste, mobility improved, work willingness increased, and movement becomes smoother. Hempqualizer+ built on previous supplementation and significantly enhanced Solo’s comfort and movement quality.
