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!

"I’m pleased to say he is going great guns"

I currently give my Ott monthly Pentosan injections and would love to find something else that works for him without needing to give him needles. I want something I can supplement into his feed instead. When I started him on Pentosan he was returning back to competition after an injury (he was kicked by another horse at a competition). Out of five one day events I did with him in a row after starting Pentosan he won 3 and got 2nd in two. First SIEC midweek prelim Feb 2015, first SIEC weekend Prelim feb 2015, 2nd Canberra prelim 2015, 2nd Scone prelim 2015, 1st Nsw Police games Prelim 2015. A lot of them finishing on his dressage score. Since then I have had a baby who is 6 weeks old and I had my first ride back yesterday. I competed him at Pre Novice before his injury and my goal is to get him to 1* by the end of 2016. I got him off the track and have successfully taken him up through the grades with wins up to Pre Novice. Being an OTT who had 65 starts, and now being 11 years old he is definitely feeling it. I have heard great things about Rose-Hip Vital and I would love to give it a go to see if it works for him. He is my once in a lifetime horse so I want to make him feel as comfortable and happy as I can.

3 months later

Just thought I would send a quick email to let you know how Onyx is going. I’m pleased to say he is going great guns. I’m getting weekly jump lessons and he is jumping so clean. Barely knocking rails. I took him to a xc Clinic at SIEC on the weekend and he jumped so well considering I hadn’t done any cross country jumping for 10 months, since my early days while I was pregnant. We were in the 105cm/1* group and he definitely held his own. All the horses in the group were established 1* horses so I was stoked with him. We even jumped some jumps I think I have previously had nightmares about, just thinking about jumping them. I’m really happy with how he is going and how he is pulling up after some hard sessions. My plan is to do the SIEC comp at the end of February for our first comp. I will let you know how he goes, although we will just do prelim for our first couple… I’ve got to get my muscles used to sitting trot to start back at pre novice, haha… I’m working on it. I will be in touch with his progress.

I just wanted to update you on my horses and the effect that Rosehip Vital is having on them.

Firstly my older horse Riley who has had more ailments than most horses on this planet and is a real survivor.

Riley 5 years ago was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He had a large aggressive fast growing tumor growing above his eyelid at the back of his eye. After seeking a 2nd opinion we found a surgeon who agreed to operate to try and remove the tumor. It took 3 operations and many doses of chemo and radiation but several months later he was cancer free and back competing. Sadly a few months later Riley fractured his front leg. It was a high fracture of the splint bone and quite a big fracture. The same surgeon who had treated him for his cancer again operated and put a plate and 4 screws into Riley’s leg. After months of being boxed the plate was removed and 6 months later Riley came back into light work. After all his body had endured it was unlikely that he would be able to compete again.

Fast forward to 2014 and Riley seemed to be in good health so we decided to do some low level jumping and see how he went. All was going well until Riley started to develop eye ulcers that just wouldn’t heal. He endured 3 further eye operations but they just kept recurring. After his last operation in July Sara Madden a good friend of mine suggested that I put Riley onto Rose-Hip Vital which we did straight away. The good news is that not only has Riley stayed Ulcer free since July, he looks better than ever and is back out competing in Eventing at prelim/pre novice and winning ribbons. His coat looks amazing and he is healthier and happier than he has been in a long time. The interesting thing is that we have done nothing different other than give him Rosehip Vital.

We have another horse Fairbanks Cappucino that is ridden by a professional rider Andrew Cooper. Following the results that we were seeing with Riley we have now put her onto Rosehip Vital as part of her preparation for The Australian International Horse Trials in Adelaide later this month. Cappucino is competing in the 2* Event. She too is looking fabulous and amazingly the mud fever that she had in one leg has now cleared up.

Obviously we are very happy with the results that we are getting with Rosehip Vital and will continue to promote the benefits to those around us.

Since we last spoke I have actually competed at Melbourne International Horse Trials in the 1* Class. This has always been a dream of mine so to have actually competed and placed 20th out of a field of 75 was an amazing experience.

My 2nd horse Riley has now been free of eye ulcers for 12 months which is incredible given that prior to starting him on Rose-Hip Vital he underwent 4 operations to try and stop them.

Lastly our old horse that started on Rose-Hip Vital only 3 months ago is now back being ridden again by a young girl who is having great fun on him. Prior to this he was retired and very stiff to the point we had considered having him put down. He is very happy in his new home and they are going to keep him on Rose-Hip Vital as they are thrilled with the results.

The eventing season will begin again in August and having successfully made it to 1* my aim will be to head towards 2* either later this year or early next year which means keeping my horses in peak condition.

Interestingly Cappy was one of the few horses that wasn’t clipped for Melbourne. There were lots of comments on her beautiful coat and how we achieved it so Rose-Hip Vital got lots of promotion over that time.

"Will has gone from strength to strength"

I’m just writing to inform you of the progress both Will and I have achieved since starting on Rose-Hip Vital in July. Until injury struck last year, Will and I had been within grasp of commencing both of our first 2* horse trials. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be and instead we were faced with a year of intense rehab work and eventually, a devastating conclusion that surgery was most likely Will’s only chance of eventing again. I have had Will since he was a 2yo and trained him all the way from his humble beginnings as an unbroken gangly, big eared dork up to wins and placing at 1* level. The sense of pride this gives me is only enhanced by the fact that those 1* starts were my first too. William and I had big dreams left to explore and the only one more apposed to the suggestion of retirement was my big-eared mate with his heart of gold. Neither of us were ready to give up and believe me when I say we tried EVERYTHING to ensure that we wouldn’t have to! By this point Will had wracked up a vet bill that would make most people rock inconsolably in a corner and was on maintenance doses of both Pentosan and 4Cyte. Although I had researched Rose-Hip Vital, I understandably wasn’t quite in the position to make another financial commitment to trial yet another product and had delayed a trial.

Fast forward 3 months:

Will has gone from strength to strength and with proper and careful management, has been given the go ahead to continue all work including galloping and jumping! To date, he has had two runs back for a 6th and a 2nd placing and will be out at Tooradin again this weekend before finishing up with Colac HT in a fortnight. The joy, relief and hope this gives me is indescribable although I think the look on my face when I’m out on board my biggest and best mate possibly goes someway in doing so. As for Will, in his first countdown in the start box he started bouncing in excitement from 5,4,3,2,1-GO and I’m pretty sure his smile was almost as big as mine!

“We were so impressed with the results of putting In Cahoots on Rose-Hip Vital that we decided to put both of Nicole’s mares on it”

We first started using Rose-Hip Vital Equine for Nicole’s thoroughbred, In Cahoots (pictured), after he had an injury during the Christmas holidays of 2013-2014. He initially had to have 6 months off, however, because he is an older horse the vet said he would probably need the entire year off.

We started him on Rose-Hip Vital at the end of the first six month spell and saw an immediate improvement. He continued to improve until he was sound enough to start back into work again, and within three weeks he competed at his first competition, jumping 1.10m, winning his rounds and not having a single rail all day. We then took him with us to the Australian Show Jumping Championships in Werribee where he jumped better than he had in a very long time, managing many placings. He held the lead out of 110 competitors in an Emerald Qualifier right up until the last horse, who, ridden by Tom McDermott, beat him by less than a second. To top it all off, just recently he went on to win Gold in the D-grade at the PCAQ State Championships in Charters Towers which we believe he would not have been able to do if not for Rose-Hip Vital Equine.

We were so impressed with the results of putting In Cahoots on Rose-Hip Vital that we decided to put both of Nicole’s mares on it. Vienna was never the cleanest jumper and would have a rail every now and again, however, after putting her on Rose-Hip Vital, we noticed that she became more athletic when jumping and tried harder over the fences.

Nicole’s other mare, Fleur, was always a very stiff going horse and never had much in the way of dressage movement. Nevertheless, after putting her on Rose-Hip Vital she has loosened up noticeably and moves much more freely on the flat and has also improved her jumping technique.

After seeing all of the great ways in which Rose-Hip Vital has helped our horses, I decided to try it out myself. I started taking the capsules at the start of the year, at which time I could barely run 20 metres without experiencing stifling pain in my knees and feet. Now, I am able to run this distance with ease and the pain is almost completely non-existent. We are even considering putting our old working dog on it to help ease the arthritis in her hips. I have recommended Rose-Hip Vital to all of my friends, for both their horses and themselves and believe that this product truly works wonders.
