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!

Rip

AGE: 14
CONDITION: Bone Cyst
LOCATION: Dublin, NH


"No sign of lameness whatsoever! I have officially become a Rose-Hip Vital lifer!!"

 


Rip was very lame due to the inflammation caused by a bone cyst in front right knee. His hoof needed minimal trimming because he barely put weight on that leg.

After starting Rose-Hip Vital Rip is walking with ease on day 16 (I saw improvement on day 2), no sign of lameness whatsoever! I have officially become a Rose-Hip Vital lifer!!

Bubbi

AGE: 18
CONDITION: Lame
LOCATION: AUS


"As soon as I take her off Rose-Hip Vital she is lame again. She’s on it for life!"

 


Bubbi was very stiff and unsound. She did not want to move at all. Issues in stifle and hocks. I have owned her for 15 years so know very well what her normal is and this is not it. She’s normally a fire breathing dragon.


I have had her on forcyte and noticed no change but as soon as I take her off Rose-Hip Vital she is lame again. She’s on it for life!

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.

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.

I have been using Rose-Hip Vital for nearly 4 weeks for my daughters Australian Riding Pony. He is in full work, competing at Novice level and training Elementary. I noticed a significant difference in his overall way of going after 10 days. Prior to using the product Benji would display stiffness in his hocks, mild lameness at times and overall discomfort in his way of going. I have taken significant measures to try and identify the source of his problems with chiropractic assessment, specialised shoes, ice boots, massage, xrays and adjustment of his work routine. It is early days but so far this product seems to have enabled him to move more freely and recover quickly from exercise sessions where he's learning to use new muscles doing lateral work. It is worth noting that he does seem a little hotter than usual as well, which can be in his character/breeding but I expect this will back off once I drop the dosage back to maintain rather than the loading dose. Overall very happy and so much so I thought I'd try the product for myself too!
