We are pleased to have Salvador back on our blog. For those who have been following our clients' horse stories, you might remember him from a few months ago. If not, we invite you to read his first case study. What brings Salvador back to our attention this time? His owner has kindly shared with us situations where Hempqualizer has recently proven its effectiveness. Thank you for sharing, and we invite you to read on.
SALVADOR, 14 YEARS OLD, GELDING, IBERIAN, STRONG SEPARATION ANXIETY AND JOINT PROBLEMS
HISTORY: Private horse. Light riding with the owner, trail rides.
PROBLEMS:
Degeneration of the hind leg coronet joint
Stiffness in the hind legs (undiagnosed bone spavin)
Severe separation anxiety
HEMPQUALIZER+ SUPPLEMENTATION:
Hempqualizer+ was first used in August and September 2023. During this period, it greatly helped with several complex issues. Firstly, the horse was on stall rest due to intense treatment for thrush, which exacerbated stiffness in his gaits. Secondly, during the stall rest, we changed stables, which was highly stressful for a sensitive horse with separation anxiety. Thanks to Hempqualizer+, we managed these changes much more easily, and the joints remained soft and relaxed despite the stall rest.
This spring (2024), Hempqualizer+ was purchased again as Salvador returned to regular training after nearly two years (illness, weight loss, changes in owners and stables). With this preparation, the horse was very relaxed both physically and emotionally during the transition back to work. He bravely handled the new experiences. During the use of Hempqualizer+, we worked on correcting the falling shoulder and reducing body asymmetry. After several weeks of training, the horse is now very willing to cooperate, his shoulders are even, he no longer falls out through the right shoulder, and the stiffness on the right side of his body is less noticeable.
Additionally, Hempqualizer+ was used during two challenging times. The first was a sudden weather change right after Salvador, an Iberian horse, was clipped – he clearly got cold in the pasture and became very tense, looking as if he had suddenly lost a lot of weight. Three days of using the preparation, along with massages and blanketing, quickly brought him back to his relaxed, full-bodied state. Secondly, at the start of the grazing season, the horses changed pastures to ones slightly further from the heart of the stable. The whole herd was agitated, especially Salvador with his separation anxiety. This was also effectively calmed down to the point where Salvador can now stay alone in the paddock for two hours waiting for the other horses to return from work, which was never possible before.
Hempqualizer+ has once again helped us significantly with both body stiffness and tension and calming the horse with separation anxiety. I highly recommend this product for special tasks.
