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!

"Charlie can now live out his old age pain free"

 


Charlie is old and stiff ...possibly arthritis. Also prone to pulling muscles. He was a station horse and worked hard throughout his life before coming to us for retirement. On Rose-Hip Vital Charlie can now live out his old age pain free. 

Little Red

AGE: 21
CONDITION: Arthritis
LOCATION: AUS


"After just a week on Rose Hip Vital, we were amazed at how much Little Red was improving!"

 


Little Red started showing early signs of arthritis and joint problems when she began limping. We were shocked though at how fast her condition worsened. She went from limping to hobbling and soon she didn’t even want to move around. Most of the day she would be lying on her side because it was too painful for her to even stand. At this point we were seriously thinking about the possibility of having to put her to sleep.


After just a week on Rose Hip Vital, we were amazed at how much Little Red was improving! She was no longer lying down during the day and she was moving around a lot more easily. After 8 weeks, Little Red was looking like her old self again! She is now moving around freely and is so much happier! We are continuing her on a maintenance dosage and looking forward to taking her out for some light rides!

Raven Man O Man M617

AGE: 6.5
CONDITION: Injury
LOCATION: AUS


"The improvement has been nothing short of phenomenal! Our vet is amazed!"

  



Severley ruptured CL in a Limousin stud bull. Severely lame could not walk at all. Prognosis was no cure and euthanasia recommended as this injury advised not repairable. Bovine specialists were also consulted who advised same. Discussions with vet pre my decision to try RHV raised concerns that bovine stomach would likely not allow absorption of product. We started administering RHV, figured nothing to lose and the improvement has been nothing short of phenomenal! Our vet is amazed! This bull could barely walk at all, he was severely and horrifically immobile and lame. The improvement so far had been absolutely remarkable!! After approx 6 weeks of treatment he made a significant, noticeable and phenomenal improvement with full mobility, and gait, covering large strides comfortably (though some impediment). He also seems much happier, comfortable, and more his normal self. I have also noticed his overall condition has improved considerably. The difference between him pre treatment, and now is simply unbelievable! Thank you.

 

Letter from Veterinarian Dr Scott Bissaker BVSc 14/04/2022:


Morpeth Veterinary Hospital
105 Swan Street
Morpeth NSW 2321

To whom it may concern,

I presented to Mr and Mrs Sutcliffe’s property on the 22nd of December, 2021 to examine Man O Man, a mature Limousin Bull for acute right hind lameness. On physical examination, he was found to have marked (grade 4) right hind lameness, right stifle instability and joint effusion consisten with, and thus presumptive diagnosis of, craniel cruciate rupture. Unfortunately, the prognosis for this type of injury is poor with most individuals humanely euthanized.

There are experimental studies in the USA showing promising resluts for surgical repair however we could not find anyone in Australia performing these surgeries here and this medical management was the only option available to Man O Man. Traditionally medical management of these cases included anti-inflammatory pain relief and strict confinement for up to 6 months. Oral supplements used in other species are often found to be ineffective in Ruminant species due to microflora action in the forestomach, thus resulting in poor bioavailability to the patient.

Mrs Sutcliffe researched and proposed using Rose Hip during his recovery and due to the above reasoning, I was skeptical of its effects. Man O Man has been on Rose Hip supplementation for a couple of months now and I’m happy to report his clinical picture is much improved. His lameness, despite still being present, has improved dramatically and he appears to be moving much more freely and sure footed.

I would be interested to see any previous, current or future studies on the use of Rose Hip in cattle for not only traumatic orthopeadic injuries but also for degenerative diseases.

Kind regards,

Dr Scott Bissaker BVSc

Madonna

AGE: 21
CONDITION: Lame
LOCATION: AUS


"We have had to stick to double dose and have seen improvements"

 

 

Madonna is an aged mare with a foal at foot. She was under vet treatment due to lameness for quite sometime. As a last resort we tried Rose-Hip Vital, before having to put Madonna down. We have had to stick to douple dose and have seen improvements. Now Madonna is able to walk freely and without any form of discomfort she is able to now live out her life in the retirement paddock happily.

Mia

AGE: Over 15
CONDITION: Arthritis 
LOCATION: AUS


"The difference in our elderly pony is amazing"

 

 

We got Mia a couple of years ago as a companion for our elderly pony who suffers from laminitis and has to be kept separated from our other horses in a paddock with limited grass. We didn’t know much about Mia’s background apart from the fact that she was also elderly. Ever since we got her she struggled with her mobility. We assumed like our other pony that it was due to laminitis and gave her the appropriate supplements and medication to treat that. Unlike our other pony she just wasn’t responding to the treatment for laminitis. We had her on a low sugar/starch diet, Founderguard and Bute which weren't working. We noticed that her stiffness seemed to be worse in the morning and cold weather so got an equine body worker to do an assessment on her. She confirmed that Mia had arthritis in her right hip.


We had been using Rose-Hip Vital for a couple of years on our 25 year old horse and 15 year old dog after seeing a testimonial for it on Facebook. They had both had great results with Rose-Hip Vital so we decided to try it with Mia. Within two weeks she was walking much better and within six weeks she was walking normally. Now after 10 weeks she is trotting around the paddock. The difference in our elderly pony is amazing. She is no longer on any treatment or medication for laminitis. Rose-Hip Vital has worked so well for Mia we’ve also put our other elderly pony, Cupcake, on it and have noticed a huge improvement in her mobility also.

Lucy has been showing signs of soreness and unable to confidently carry a rider since she has been left barefoot six weeks ago. After being on Rose-Hip Vital for two weeks, she is walking so much better as well as she was comfortable taking my boyfriend for a ride around the field near where we board our horses. Her black coat even lost the sun fade and she glistens in the sun. I'm happy that I found something to make her feel comfortable and allow her to go for rides again. I think she's been missing getting to go out on trail to explore.

This winter Stimpy started to struggle. He was shuffling along not really walking out like he use to. I was thinking maybe it's time to have the discussion that I have been dreading. I was on fb 1 night and I saw Rose-Hip Vital had a special on, so I bought a 3 kg bucket. It arrived really quickly and I started him slowly on it. I started noticing a difference in a week, we still hadn't reached the full dose and I was getting excited. We have been on the full starter dose for 2 weeks, and I am amazed. It's like I have a new horse. I gave him a bath today and when I let him go he bolted around the paddock, bucking, rearing and just being an idiot. He hasn't done that in a very long time. You have no idea how happy I am with this product. Yes it's expensive but I am happy to pay for something that works.

This is Storm our 27yo standardbred. He is feeling the effects of age and also the colder weather in his hind quarters in particular. You can now see the stiffness in his hind walk and how he shifts weight on his hind quarters. We started him on a course of Rose-Hip Vital on the 2nd May 2024. After 5 weeks there is a marked improvement in his ability to walk. He also doesn’t shift his weight on his hind quarters as much. We are very impressed with the effect Rose-Hip Vital has had on Storm.

Mini is a 35 years old Shetland pony who has been getting increasing slower and had very sore hips. Rose-Hip Vital was suggested by my Farrier. Thought I would give it a try. In less than 2 weeks she was roaming the full 80 acres of her paddock. The sway walk had gone and she no longer appeared to be in pain. Don’t know how but she even whinnies louder now too, I think it is because she is happier. I saw how well it worked for her, the donkeys are now on taking Rose-Hip Vital and so am I, I highly recommend Rose-Hip Vital my new best friend.
