A Six-Time Champion's Trusted Routine

"I use Curafyt's vet-recommended supplements to keep my horses performing at their best. Here's why you should too."

— Jette de Jong, Belgian Dressage Champion

A foreword from veterinarian Valérie De Clerck

Nutrition and the right supplements play a bigger role in a horse's health and performance than most people realise. From elite competition horses to the pony in the back paddock, good support is often the quiet reason behind their condition, their longevity and their day-to-day wellbeing.

Jette riding

I have been crazy about horses since I was small, partly thanks to my parents, who bred dressage horses. Last year I won my sixth Belgian Dressage Championship. If there is one lesson I keep coming back to, it is this: whatever level you ride at, the horse comes first. Keep them healthy, keep them happy, and keep them wanting to work.

Part of how I do that sits in the supplements I feed. There are a lot of them out there, and plenty overpromise. So I want to be straight about what I actually use and what I have seen, in case it helps you choose better too.

I feed my horses Curafyt. It is a Belgian company making high-quality, natural supplements at prices that do not make you wince. And it is not just me. Their reviews are full of other owners seeing the same things I have.

My top pick is their Restore & Revive. I am also a big fan of Smooth & Supple. Here is why.

Five reasons I use and recommend Curafyt

A natural-first approach

Jette with Curafyt products

I like to keep my horses' diets as close to natural as I can. Curafyt's supplements are up to 99% natural. No fillers, no binders, none of the padding you find in a lot of products. Just what the horse needs.

They are also honest about it, which matters to me. They do use a small amount of synthetic ingredients, but only in tiny quantities and only where the synthetic version is actually better for the horse. Some vitamins, for example, are not stable in their natural form. And they say so, right there on the packaging. No hiding it.

Recommended by veterinarians

Valérie De Clerck, DVM

Curafyt was founded by a vet, Valérie De Clerck, who has spent her life around animals and horses in particular. The range is built on veterinary research into how the equine body actually works, with each product aimed at a specific job.

That work has earned the trust of more than 750 veterinarians across Europe, including specialists at Ghent University, home to one of the world's leading faculties of veterinary medicine.

Between them, Curafyt's supplements have supported tens of thousands of horses to:

  • maintain flexible joints
  • support sugar and fat metabolism
  • support healthy energy levels
  • support stamina
  • support a healthy weight
  • strengthen hooves
  • contribute to normal digestion
  • support recovery after exercise
  • contribute to normal hormone balance

Backed by science

Heavenly Charming, Jette's top horse

Science sits underneath everything Curafyt makes. Every ingredient in the range is supported by research, which is a big part of why I trust it. I know what I am putting in my horses is safe and that it does something.

And I have seen it. After a hard training session or a competition, I give Restore & Revive to my top horse, Heavenly Charming, to support his recovery. The day after a big effort he is noticeably more supple. That is the difference I notice most.

Alongside it I give him Smooth & Supple for his joints, and Guts & Glory, Curafyt's probiotic, because good condition starts in the gut.

Reviews from real owners

You do not have to take my word for it. Curafyt has an "Excellent" rating on Trustpilot with 4.6/5 stars. Some of the reviews are even vets writing about their own horses, not just riders like you and me. Here's a few I found:

Verified reviews, collected by Curafyt

★★★★★

"I use this for my 20-year-old mare. She's still really fit but gets stiff pretty quickly, so I tried this and I noticed amazing results after less than two weeks. The one-month portion also lasts a lot longer than a month, and my horse loves it, she even eats it without any other food. Recommend!"

Laura P. (Smooth & Supple)

★★★★★

"My 24-year-old horse hasn't felt this good in years. We've already won four of eight competitions this season and placed in seven. I hope it keeps him supple and fresh for a long time to come."

Astrid (Smooth & Supple)

★★★★★

"We've used this for two years and our Quarter Horse is doing really well on it, moving much more freely. We give it all year round and add Restore & Revive during competition season, all on our vet's advice. Definitely recommend."

Julie D. (Smooth & Supple + Restore & Revive)

★★★★★

"Very happy with this. He's no longer stiff for the first ten minutes and has turned into a cheerful horse that wants to work. I'll keep giving it."

Real advice and proper service

Jette in the stables

The thing that surprised me most on the Curafyt website was the live chat. I had specific questions about their supplements and got clear, useful answers, not a script.

When you compete, you cannot be careless about what your horse eats. So it mattered to me that their supplements are all "Clean Sport" and built to be used at a professional level.

They also followed up after I started, to see how things were going and to help me combine a few products sensibly. Small thing, but you do not get it everywhere. It told me they actually care.
