Respiratory problems in horses aren’t just a matter of discomfort – they’re a real threat to health and daily well-being.
This became painfully clear to the caretaker of Stella, a 13-year-old Małopolski mare, who had been struggling for years with increasingly severe signs of respiratory insufficiency.
What started as a mild cough turned into serious breathing difficulties, weight loss, and noticeable fatigue. Stella avoided movement, and even light work became a huge effort. Despite treatment attempts with herbs, syrups, and even steroids – nothing helped.
Only after introducing Hempqualizer+ did real relief come. After the first dose, Stella began coughing up mucus, regained strength, and galloped joyfully across the pasture again.
Meet Stella – a horse who’s breathing freely once more.
Stella, 13 years old, Małopolski mare
I’ve had Stella for a year and a half. Her respiratory problems were first observed when she was a few years old, which led to her being sold.
Her next owner didn’t notice major symptoms, although her belly had the typical distended shape often seen in horses with breathing issues.
During her first year with me, she would cough occasionally.
In autumn 2024, I noticed her mood worsening, her cough becoming more frequent and dry, and she had less motivation to move.
By spring 2025, the symptoms had worsened dramatically: she was breathing heavily through her abdomen, coughing with no mucus, appearing sad, losing weight, and conserving energy. Walking uphill was a serious struggle.
We tried everything: herbal treatments, supplements, expectorant syrups, increased exercise, and finally steroids.
None of it brought her relief.
After the very first dose of Hempqualizer+, her dry cough turned into a productive one – she was able to clear the mucus.
By the second day, the abdominal breathing had significantly eased. She regained her energy, the sparkle in her eye, and her interest in life. She galloped across the field.
Now, after two weeks of supplementation, the effect is lasting. She’s no longer coughing.
