Origin & Composition
Organically grown, fermented for 4 years – 100% natural
Equine 74® Core Connect is a feed supplement for horses and ponies. At its core is a fermented organic hemp seed, optimized for nutrient availability through a four-year fermentation process. It is complemented by Calcareous Marine Algae Lithothamnion Glaciale (Maerl).
The fermentation process preserves the full nutrient matrix of the hemp seed – in a form that is particularly bioavailable for horses. No pressing, no extraction: the whole seed.
Application
20 grams daily – simply mix into feed
Equine 74® Core Connect is given as a powder mixed into the hard feed daily. Ideally split across 2 feedings per day. The dosage is intentionally low – not because less is more, but because it works as a targeted feed supplement, not a primary feed.
20 g daily for horses | 10 g daily for ponies
How Equine 74® Core Connect Works
It starts where mobility actually begins: in regulation
Stiffness, lack of suppleness, and prolonged warm-up phases are often not purely a structural issue. When the body can no longer find its own balance, the endocannabinoid system (ECS) frequently shows the first signs of imbalance.
The Endocannabinoid-System (ECS)
The ECS is the body's own balancing and regulatory system. It connects the nervous system, immune system, and musculoskeletal system – supporting the natural regulation of stimulus processing, muscle tone, stress response, and recovery.
What happens when the ECS is out of balance?
Through physical stress, aging, or nutritional deficiencies, the body's own endocannabinoids (the signaling molecules of the ECS) may be produced in lower quantities or broken down more rapidly. The result: reduced elasticity, elevated muscle tone, prolonged recovery.
This shows not only physically – an ECS out of balance can also affect the nervous system: horses may appear more spooky, internally tense, or oversensitive to everyday stimuli.
How Equine 74® Core Connect supports the ECS
Since endocannabinoids are built from fatty acids, fatty acid supply directly influences the body's own ECS production capacity.
Equine 74® Core Connect delivers Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids through fermented organic hemp seeds – as building blocks the body uses for its own endocannabinoid synthesis.
A different approach
Products like glucosamine or devil's claw target physical structure – cartilage, joints, inflammation. Equine 74® Core Connect works one level earlier: not at the substance, but at the regulation. Not repair, but supporting the body's own fine-tuning.

Scientific background
The ECS in horses: an active field of research
The endocannabinoid system is a well-documented regulatory system in horses – as in all mammals.
Current studies show that ECS receptors have been identified in the horse's gut, joints, and nerve pathways.
Particularly relevant for the musculoskeletal system: more of these receptors were found in inflamed joint tissue than in healthy tissue – suggesting that the ECS becomes more active under increased tissue stress (Zamith Cunha et al., 2023).
Research into the equine ECS is advancing rapidly – and is providing growing evidence of how central this system is to mobility, stimulus processing, and inner balance.
