How to handle a horse’s hypersensitivity in the warm-up ring? Discover Sharona’s story.

Equestrian competitions are a major challenge not only for riders but also for their horses – especially emotionally sensitive ones. Sharona, a mare owned by Edyta Palak, is a highly sensitive and energetic horse who performs very well at home. However, every competition trip brought her significant stress, particularly during the warm-up. The presence of other horses and the need to pass close to them in a small space caused Sharona to panic instead of focusing on her rider. As a result, her performance did not reflect her true abilities.

In this case, natural support was introduced – Hempqualizer Compete, intended to calm Sharona’s emotions without affecting her focus or energy.
Was it possible to find the balance between calmness and readiness to perform? The results exceeded the owner’s expectations – for the first time, Sharona was able to warm up in a focused manner, despite the challenging conditions and the presence of other horses.

SHARONA, 8-YEAR-OLD SP MARE

Sharona, being a sensitive horse, struggled with warm-up sessions at competitions. She couldn’t handle the presence of other horses, especially when passing close by. Her fear made it nearly impossible to prepare properly, which led to weaker performances.
That’s when we turned to Hempqualizer Compete, and it completely changed our experience.
Sharona became much more focused during warm-up, even with many horses around and despite the stress-inducing environment – all without any drowsiness or dullness.
We’ve already recommended the product to several rider friends, and we know that many have tried it with very positive results.
