CONDITION: Joint Pain RIDER: Susan Paix's LOCATION: AUS
In 2011 we started competing at Grand Prix International, unfortunately arthritic changes and stiffness set in for Ellie and we sadly decided to retire. Six months ago I started Ellie on Rose-Hip Vital. The change is unbelievable.
Ellie is better now than when she was competing. Ellie and I are going back into competition at the ripe age of 20. This is so exciting!
Life is too short to be unhealthy. Thank you Rose-Hip Vital!

“The change is unbelievable. Ellie is better now than when she was competing.”
My name is Susan Paix and I own the grey mare Sheer Etiquette (Ellie). In 2011 we started competing at Grand Prix International and continued at that level until 2018. Unfortunately arthritic changes and stiffness set in for Ellie (and me) and we sadly decided to retire.
Six months ago I started Ellie on Rose Hip Vital. The change is unbelievable. Ellie is better now than when she was competing. As she began to get better and better I watched with curiosity and decided to try Rose Hip Vital for myself. My rheumatoid arthritis seems to have disappeared and I feel fantastic.
Therefore Ellie and I, brand new, are going back into competition at the ripe age of 20 and me at 60 something. This is so exciting for us as we both love competing. Life is too short to be unhealthy. Thank you Rose Hip Vital!

Having led a seriously sporting life from a young age and being competitive by nature, my body has had it's share of gruelling times. Being a Physiotherapist I know the problems with joints and ageing, wear and tear, it's inevitable and especially when an active sporting lifestyle has been a way of life. More to the point is that I am still wanting to be active and competitive. My joints ache but I ignore them or take anti inflammatories. I have tried many different joint formulas and can say that I have never found any benefit and It wasn't from the lack of trying. I was asked for some photos to use in an advertising campaign for Rose Hip Vital. I had a meeting to discus the pictures needed and found out a little about Rose Hip Vital. (here we go another one of those natural therapies !!!) Now being skeptical about additives for horses etc I was not prepared to use it. It wasn't free and how can you tell in an equine athlete. I then said if it worked on people then I would consider it of benefit to horses. I did start the Rose Hip Vital and despite my ho hum attitude I have been truly blown away with the result. I can not tell enough people the difference it has made to my life. I am fitter, thinner and healthier and my joint pain is without doubt minimised. I am on no other medication at all and I can absolutely say that Rose Hip Vital has changed my life. I can get out of bed and walk straight down the stairs with out any problem which I haven't done for years. My wrists and thumbs no longer hurt and I have not run a step for years and the other day I had to hurry to get somewhere and I ran without thinking and when I got there a bit puffed !! I realised what I had just done. There is no question at all, that Rose Hip Vital is an amazing additive to my life and I will not go a day without it. I have to say that above all I have not felt so fit and healthy for years and I have not changed a thing. I simply feel better and have less joint pain so I am able to do more and so the wheel goes around. I feel fantastic and of course this all leads to a better mind set and positive outlook. My life is all good and whats more so many people have asked how come I look fitter and healthier and that I am riding better. The answer is obvious! It's exciting. Of course my horses are both on RoseHip Vital and Weltsohn who 15 months ago sustained a serious stifle injury that required surgery and the prognosis from top vets here in Australia and America gave him little hope. 12 months later he became sound and I was able to start working him gently and this was the time I was trying Rose Hip Vital and believed it helped so Sonny started. Its been three months and he looks fantastic. He has bloomed from a hairy no muscled unathletic looking dressage horse who was a Grand Prix Athlete 15 months ago. He is healthy and shiny and back to being his excitable self. Above all he is having no problem with his joint at all and the scans and Xrays are remarkable. I attribute his lucky break to great vet attention and prompt and appropriate treatment and above all rest. I never thought he would come sound and nor did most vets. He did and now Rose Hip Vital is helping keep him on track. Never believed I would ride another Grand Prix test on him and he travelled to Melbourne for his first competition and was Fantastic. Totally healthy and placed mid field. His luck was that he developed a foot abscess and I had to withdraw. His stifle is perfect and his health is the best ever. He is absolutely as he was prior to the injury. I am sure Roes Hip Vital is working. It's a wonderful product and I swear by it for me and my horses.

I’m a dressage rider whose passion for the sport is currently somewhat greater than her ability. I’m working on the ability part but, as a “mature” rider (at least in body if not in outlook) I find that the day to day demands of keeping two dressage horses in work, combined with time at my desk and days on my feet in my professional life as a consultant and trainer mean that the body sometimes just doesn’t feel up to the demands I make on it. I’m committed to putting the work in but with a body aching and hurting in very inconvenient places (back, hips, shoulders, and pretty much everything connected to them), it can be a struggle. Up to now, my routine pre-ride was to pop enough ibuprofen to deal with the pain and to hell with the consequences afterward. Riding is my passion, and my release, and no pain was going to stop me doing what I love! About four months ago, one day while working at my desk, Roger Fitzhardinge popped up on my computer, (I suspect I was live streaming a dressage event while I was supposedly working) extolling the virtues of Rose-Hip Vital. He sounded very convincing but it all seemed just a bit too good to be true. However, my interest was piqued and I started to research Rose-Hip Vital; the more I found out, the more interested I became until I finally succumbed and bought a bottle of the Rose-Hip Vital with GOPO capsules to try out. At this point I should note that I’m a dreadful skeptic when it comes to supplements for either me or for my horses and while I really hoped that the claims about Rose-Hip Vital would be true, I was still very skeptical. Not only were all the claims I’d read true, I’m actually tempted to say that they were understating the benefits! I’ve been amazed and delighted at the affect it’s had. No more ibuprofen – I now have a body that can do what I want it to do easily and without pain. For the first time in years I can get serious about fitness (I can run again – I don’t like it but I can do it!) and instead of feeling like a crippled octogenarian after riding two horses, I could now happily ride another one. The next logical step was to consider that my two 13 year old dressage horses, who work hard and are starting to train some of the higher level movements, might be feeling just like I was. If I felt so much better, how good would it be if they could feel the same? So, they were the next guinea pigs and both started on Rose-Hip Vital in early April. As noted on the packaging, it took around 4 weeks at the loading dose to make a discernible difference but by week four both horses were moving more freely, felt more supple and were generally happier in their work. We’re now three months down the track and I’m thrilled to say that the improvement has continued. Jed, my 16hh chestnut warmblood with a great work ethic, is finding the movements we’re working on much easier and is starting to perform them with some competence when the rider sorts herself out and gives the right aids. Gandalf, my 16.2hh grey warmblood with a chequered history, is the happiest I’ve seen him. From a horse who would hardly move when he came to me two years ago, I now have a happy athlete who is proving to have some real talent and is happier to work harder. He’s a complete nut in the paddock and it’s a joy to see a horse galloping and bucking just for the sheer pleasure of it. If he decided to display his exuberance that way while I was riding, I might not be quite so enthusiastic; thankfully he’s a gentleman under saddle! Perhaps the most exciting thing is that Rose-Hip Vital Equine has meant that our training, which has always been two steps forward, one, two or even three steps back, is now moving inexorably forward without the setbacks of stiffness and soreness for any of us. Sure, there are times when my muscles are screaming out after a couple of intense rides and I’m sure that both horses are the same but that’s just a case of fitness and building the right muscle function and capability to cope with the work. Muscles can be managed relatively easily. While my main focus has been on the mobility enhancing properties of Rose-Hip Vital, I’ve also noticed an effect in terms of general health benefits for both my horses. Their coats are gleaming and have come back in better than ever before after being clipped this year and they generally look a picture of health and wellbeing. I’d love to say that I look younger and more glamorous and gorgeous than ever before but Rose-Hip Vital is a natural anti-inflammatory, nutritional supplement for joint health and general wellbeing, not a miracle powder! Thank goodness I overcame my skepticism and gave Rose-Hip Vital a go – I’m fitter and feel great, my horses are fitter and obviously happier in the paddock and at work and we’re all set to get out there again and start competing again after a two year break. Now that’s a scary thought!

"I found Chester much more consistent in his approach to his work"
For some time I’ve been looking for a product to give Chester (GB Winchester) assistance in his general joint health and wellbeing.
A number of my students have suggested that I look into a product called Rose-Hip Vital®. These students have had success with this product with horses that suffer lameness or stiffness through “ringbone” and “joint degeneration”. That success means that they are now competing their horses in competitions and handling all the training their horses are receiving.
I decided to see what all the excitement was about and rang to speak to Justin from Rose-Hip Vital®. I explained that Chester was sound and not suffering any lameness but with all the Grand Prix training he was undergoing, I felt he needed something to assist in his recovery. Justin explained in detail how this product does much more than help maintain healthy joints. It’s anti-inflammatory qualities help with systemic inflammation which helps to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain associated with a wide variety of conditions. He shared stories and examples of a number of performance horses at national and international level which have had success after taking this product. He suggested I trial the product for a month and report back with my feedback. After discussing the benefits of using this product, he asked about myself. Did I feel any stiffness, do I feel any soreness? It was like he read my mind. While he was previously explaining about the product, I can’t help but think what can it do for us humans. Training and riding horses is physical and there are a lot of demand put on our joints and muscles.
After a month of Chester and myself taking Rose-Hip Vital®, I found Chester much more consistent in his approach to his work. No longer did I find him lazy and lacking in motivation one day and then enthusiastic and keen the next. I think Rose-Hip Vital® made him feel better whether its because it reduced joint pain and soreness or whether it enabled him to recover quicker. Whichever it may be, I have found a positive result.
With myself, I have found a huge difference. No longer do I take 30 minutes to get going in the morning or feel like I need a soaking bath in the evening. Similar to other equestrian riders and trainers, I have part of my body that wears quicker than other parts. Mine is my lower back with a bulging disc and spine bone degeneration. I no longer use pain killers.
With the success and difference I felt, I introduced my mother to the Rose-Hip Vital® Joint Health capsules. My mother had a hip replacement last year and as a result of the operation, her right leg is shorter than the left. Consistently walking unevenly has given her sore ankles and she has suffered sleepless nights from the pain. I am pleased to report that my mother is now pain free and she speaks highly about the product and what it has done for her.
Overall, success from each party and as much as this product has had positive results, I love that Rose-Hip Vital is a natural plant-based anti-inflammatory, it helps to maintain healthy joints, it improves general health and it improves performance.

I am keen to try it for myself as I have multiple health issues including long term pain. I am so impressed with the results on my horse. My vet recommended me as Morgan has had an on going skin infection that is resistant to antibiotics so we wanted to boost her immune system. She has always been a bit resistant to work and very pushy, aloof and generally hard work to maintain her working ethic Since being on it she is responsive first ask, alot happier overall and now a lot of her quirkiness is dulled down and she is so much happier and submissive. Our dressage scores have reflected the improvement. Her movement is freer and so much easier to ride and her skin has also improved. So Thankful I found this product, the difference I wouldnt have believed if I hadn’t see it with my own eyes.

Lydia Jackson is a level 3 Dressage Specialist coach, Level 2 General Coach and Coach Educator. She and her husband, Jonathan run the family business, Kingston Agistment and Training Centre approx 15 min from Hobart. Lydia and Jonathan have 3 children, Harry 8, Sabrina 6 and Charlie 3yo. Before children Lydia was a successful Eventing Rider with wins and placings at all major 3DE over Australia and twice a member of the Australian Young Rider Trans Tasman Team. Lydia was also on the National B Squad for Athens and on the NSW Institute of Sport Squad for a number of years.
Since returning to Hobart a little over 10 years ago she has primarily concentrated on a Dressage Career with success at National level with numerous horses. She has had success on Snowy River Blackwood and Precizion at Grand Prix and is about to compete GP in a couple of weeks on a homebred and produced horse Splendido.
“Our horse family and human family from Kingston Agistment have been using Rose-Hip Vital since March 2014. My mum Cheryl has noticed a huge improvement in her overall strength and mobility. She is almost lifting the same weights as me in our PT sessions and finds it much easier to get up and down.
My husband Jonathan recently ran a successful Gold Coast marathon with a fairly substantial tendon injury sustained prior to taking Rose-Hip Vital. He completed his training and the marathon on Rose-Hip Vital and is still taking it religiously.
I myself have not visited the chiropractor as much as I have prior to taking rosehip and I have got through winter without a cold or flu. I can honestly say this is the strongest, least tired and healthiest I have felt for a long time. I thought I was just getting old!
We have 2 horses on Rose-Hip Vital. Snowy River Blackwood who is a successful Grand Prix horse for Di Jenkyn, my mum and myself. He is retired from competition but is still worked at home and attends the occasional clinic. He has bloomed on Rose-Hip Vital, his weight is easy to maintain and his coat is shiny and his first trot step is 100% sound.
My almost Grand prix horse is loving his work, is finding the work load easier, he seems fitter and stronger and my coach is impressed each month.
I have a client’s horse currently in work and she has put him on Rose-Hip Vital Equine and the difference is staggering. Within a week his entire attitude to work changed. He always had the handbrake on so to speak and if he thought things were a little difficult he would just quit. He is a happy horse that loves his work and more often than not I am saying “woah’ not GO."
