Equine Testimonials: Rose-Hip Vital Success Stories

Sheer Etiquette (Ellie)

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 most noticeable change was in his work, in particular the quality of his medium and extended trot has improved immensely"

In May 2014 I attended a Rose Hip Vital with GOPO seminar in Hobart. It was organised by my coach Lydia Jackson of Kingston Agistment and Training Centre as she was very excited about this product. I listened intently and I went home with a goody bag including 250 RHV tablets. I am a later converter to many new innovations and before I would try RHV on my FEI horse Sunbury Lodge Toronto, I thought I would try RHV on myself first. I took the loading dose and then another month of RHV caplets. I noticed the impact of RHV on my wellbeing when I STOPPED taking them. My energy levels decreased, I injured my calf muscle, my knee joints started protest and I just didn’t feel as well as I did when I was taking them. It took me a few weeks to realise it but when I did I went straight back on to RHV and I haven’t looked back. I have recently run my first half marathon, injury free (I only started training for it in November), my energy levels are back where they need to be and my troublesome knees don’t give me any grief.


In early Dec 2014 I started Sunbury Lodge Toronto (Tiny) on his loading course of RHVE. By January I already noticed many changes. His coat and skin had improved and his windgalls (he has many being 17 years young) had reduced in size. However the most noticeable change was in his work, in particular the quality of his medium and extended trot has improved immensely. Sunday we achieved a great result in our new foray into the Medium Tour with a great score in the Inter A, it would have to be our best test ever. I have no doubt that I can attribute Tiny's fitness, wellbeing, recovery and general health to the addition of RHVE to his regime.

Thank you RHVE I don’t know where we would be without this great product.

"I’m completely blown away with the results I have had using Rose-Hip Vital Equine"

I was introduced to it by Sue Hearn as Remmington started on it before leaving to go overseas to help with the recovery with all the travelling he has had to do. I have a 16 year old Arabian Warmblood Monty that I had to retire at the age of 10 due to ringbone. Coming into this winter I found he was really struggling in his joints and dragging his back feet when he walked wearing out the toes of his feet which was creating a whole new problem! So I decided to try RHV and within 4 weeks I could see improvement trotting around and starting to move free in the hind legs. Monty now has been on it for 4 months and he’s moving so much better and not wearing out the toes of his feet! But most of all he is sound which is amazing!!


I was so happy with RHV I started my 12 year old Warmblood Avonlea Jivago (Jaffah) who is very nervous anxious and spooky! I have found that it has helped him internally he is not as anxious or spooky! He feels so much stronger, filling out nicely and his coat looks absolutely amazing! It really has helped with his overall health. I highly recommend Rose-Hip Vital Equine and I’m so glad I tried it I couldn’t be happier with my results!!

"I couldn’t be happier having my horses on such an amazing product that I know and trust"

After having such a positive outcome on my previous dressage horse I didn’t hesitate putting Don Ravel on Rose-Hip Vital Equine (RHVE) as well as my up and coming young horse, I was very impressed with RHVE and how quickly I saw results in only 2 weeks and more importantly how quickly I noticed an improvement in Ravel’s suppleness and wellbeing.


Don Ravel’s weekly training shows that he is happy, sound and healthy and I love seeing him give 100% in everything I ask of him, particularly with training the higher movements of Dressage. I love seeing how well his body copes with the demands of the sport, each and every time we enter the arena Ravel floruishes mentally and physically. I couldn’t be happier having my horses on such an amazing product that I know and trust.


Thank you
Jess

"OMG I cannot believe the difference in my horse after just 3 weeks"


June 2014

Dear Rose-Hip Vital Equine, Just wanted to say OMG I cannot believe the difference in my horse after just 3 weeks on this product. He has ringbone in his off hind and I manage it with special shoe/pentosan every 6 weeks. We are a competitive level 1 combination in HRCAV (Horse Riding Clubs Association Victoria) and despite my good management with the above and regular visits from an acupuncturist there was always an element of stiffness to our work. I cannot believe the difference I feel in him in just 3 weeks!! Like riding a totally different horse!!! He was due for his pentosan injection last week and usually by the 6 week mark comes around he feels stiffer than he usually is but not this time. Thank you for a fantastic product and my horse thanks you too!!


October 2014

Tonight as I write this update I am so proud to share with you that Flash (Aldebaran Admeyer) and I have made it into the Saddle Up Top 10 Awards in the discipline of Dressage riding for the HRCAV. (Horse Riding Clubs Association of Victoria). Something that I am certain we would not have achieved without the success that we have experienced using Rose-Hip Vital. You may recall that Flash has Ringbone and was having 4 weekly pentosan injections. Well I am so pleased to report that since starting on Rose-Hip vital he has not required any pentosan injections!! That is almost 6 months now!!! And to add to that his training schedule is much tougher as we have started to climb the levels and are well onto our way to being an established and competitive Level 1 combination.


Next on the agenda for Flash and is a show!! Yes a show…..he looks so well and shiny that we have decided to compete next weekend at a HRCAV show in Level 1. After that we have a clinic with Gary Lung (Grand Prix Dressage rider) on the 23rd and 24th of October. Following the clinic we will compete at a 2 day dressage comp on sat & sun 25th/26th Oct. So being a tough week I will plan to up his Rose-Hip Vital as suggested.

Going better than ever 12 months on…….. where does the time go!! Today I walked into the feed room and noticed a date on the whiteboard. That date was written almost 12 months ago and marked the day that I started flash on Rose-Hip Vital Equine!! So with that in mind I thought I’d put pen to paper and give you all an update on how Flash is going.


Over the last few months we have have been training hard to improve our marks and be more competitive at HRCAV level 1 which we pointed up to late last year. This in itself was a huge achievement having started only 18 months prior in level 4. To become more competitive at this level a higher degree of collection is required which means Flash has to carry more weight on his hind legs. This of course worried me at first as it is his off hind that has ringbone in it which is the very reason that flash was first started on Rose-Hip Vital Equine. Well like every other report I have written I am pleased to say that despite having to carry more weight on the affected limb Flash remains 100% sound with the use of only Rose-Hip Vital Equine!!!


Next on the agenda for Flash and I are the HRCAV Individual championships in 2 weeks time followed by the EV Masters Games at Werribee.


If you see us out and about please come say hello and if you have any questions about Rose-Hip Vital don’t hesitate to ask me. It truly is an amazing product for which Flash & I are very grateful for. Until next time…. happy riding.


December 2015

My journey with Rose-Hip Vital started just over 12 months ago after a friend suggested I should try it on my horse Flash. At the time I was giving him Pentosan every 4-6 weeks to manage his ringbone to try and keep him sound enough to compete. Over 12 months on and he continues to go from strength to strength and is managed now on Rose-Hip Vital alone.


Our partnership together started out 3yrs ago where we competed as a level 4 combination and over time we have worked our way up through the ranks of HRCAV where we now compete at Level 1 and are knocking on the door of advanced!!


It has been an exciting year which has included winning a few championships, gaining our 100 point dressage award and just last weekend we acheived some great scores competing in the Level 1 HRCAV at the Saddleworld Dressage Festival where we placed amongst a strong field of riders. But probably the biggest highlight for me is the fact that my horse has remained sound and continues to give me 100% as we continue on this totally addictive journey that is dressage!!! But it’s not only my horses that benefit from Rose-Hip Vital, the dogs are now all on it after our Kelpie (spike) ruptured his cruciate 12 weeks ago. The vet was keen for me to start him on cartrophen and 4Cyte straight after the operation which included placing titanium bits in his leg to repair it. Despite the vets advice I chose to use just Rose-Hip Vital and Spike’s recovery has been amazing!!! Even my vet is impressed with just how well he is and how well he recovered!!! He is back to chasing rabbits full speed down the back paddock…….the very thing that ruptured his cruciate in the first place. (Aaaargh!!!!)


It has been a great 12 months with both competition horses going from strength to strength in their training and in competition and we couldn’t have achieved all that we have without Rose-Hip Vital!!


From the horses, to the dogs and to the humans……….over the past 12 months we have all enjoyed the benefits.

"The most outstanding part of the response... was a noticeable calming effect" 


I have been using Rose-Hip Vital Equine on both my dressage horses for a few years now. The horses are both Australian Warmbloods doing dressage, the 11yo is competing advanced and the 5yo is competing novice. With the horses being young and having no joint disease I am aware of, it was hard to know what to expect from the product. I started using Rose-Hip Vital on the recommendation of a very knowledgeable client. I always like to try products on my own animals first before I recommend them to clients.


Another part of my rationale for trying Rose-Hip Vital on my horses is a sort of preventative management for them. I hope to have both of them sound for as long as possible. The most outstanding part of the response I noted in both horses in the 3-4 weeks after I started them on Rose-Hip Vital was a noticeable calming effect which was a bit of a surprise to me. They also both appeared to look really glossy and fat in the months after starting Rose-Hip Vital and I put this down to the effect of bioflavonoids. As I have already said it’s hard to monitor joint effects when I am not aware of any pre-existing disease.


A few years down the track and both horses are still maintained on very minimal feed and both continue to look and feel well and also continue to be sound and perform well. Very recently I have decided to try the product on myself as well because unlike the horses my joints can ache and I’m interested to.
