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!

"Rose-Hip Vital Equine keeps my team sound and moving freely. Best of all it doesn’t swab"

To win my horses need to be at the top of their powers. With Rose-Hip Vital Equine as part of their diet I am confident that I have left no stone unturned for them to operate at their athletic best. GV Billy Elliot has been on it for 3 years now and I am thrilled with the results.

After I returned from England with GV Billy Elliot, who was travelling reserve for the London Olympics, I was approached by my vet to try a new product. She had said there were spectacular results with dogs and horses. I was of course skeptical as we are often approached to try new products. My vet was insistent and I am glad she was. Rose-Hip Vital Equine is different. Very different.

I have a large team of eventers who all live on Rose-Hip Vital Equine as part of their training regime. I have several with arthritic changes and recurring lameness that appear to have settled. My best horse GV Billy Elliot has no soundness problems but I was recommended Rose-Hip Vital to help prevent inflammation and arthritic changes. He has remained very sound and he looks and feels fantastic. The added bonus I have found with Billy who is traditionally a fussy eater is that Rose-Hip Vital mixed in the feed is a fantastic appetite stimulant. Unlike a lot of other joint powders horses love Rose-Hip Vital. Further to making my horses operate at their best, I have now started taking the human version which is equally effective. I have well developed arthritis after many years with many falls and a lot of broken bones. Rose-Hip Vital has been a great assistance to me and my team and I recommend it highly to anyone wanting to win.

Rose-Hip Vital Equine keeps my team sound and moving freely. Best of all it doesn’t swab. My whole team are on it and I am very happy with the results. I urge all horse lovers to include Rose-Hip Vital Equine in their diet, especially if you want to have your horses in the best possible shape to win. Rose-Hip Vital Equine is my advantage. Everywhere my horses and I go, Rose-Hip Vital Equine comes too. It will not just be another mumbo jumbo additive. It really works.

I am proud to represent RHVE and I urge those who haven’t tried this wonderful product on their horses yet to give it a go. You will be amazed!

"I’m happy to recommend Rose-Hip Vital without the slightest hesitation for both humans and horses"

Delwyn Ogilvy is a successful event rider who’s professional riding and coaching career spans more than four decades. She competed in England 1992 and just missed the Australian Olympic Eventing Team for Barcelona when she was named 1^st reserve rider. In 2017 she is still out competing and has a particularly special partnership with her stunning mare “Precious Dreams”.

“I don’t think it’s any secret that at almost 60 years of age I’m feeling very grateful to be out Eventing again. I had hung up my competition boots in 2012 and it’s only since meeting my partner Julie 4 years ago that I decided to go back out and have another shot with the wonderful support I now have around me. My body has been through a lot over the years and I do suffer from some arthritic aches and pains. After a serious accident more than a decade ago I started taking Rose-Hip Vital and was astounded at how much it helped with the joint pain I was suffering. I have continued to take the Rose-Hip Vital and if I happen to run out I know about it within 48 hours as the joint pain, especially in my fingers, returns. Without Rose-Hip Vital I know I would not be able to successfully Event at the level I am.

When I was approached by Justin and the team at Rose-Hip Vital to try the equine product it just made sense. If the product worked so well on me then I believed it could only be healthy for my horses. I had read so many testimonials about the improvement in movement, willingness and overall wellbeing that I was excited to commence feeding it to my competition mare Precious Dreams. I have been feeding Rose-Hip Vital for over a month now and she is feeling fabulous. The powder is very palatable and I didn’t have any issues with it being introduced to the feed once a day. Fortunately I didn’t have any soundness issues to commence with but after the first competition of the Eventing season Precious Dreams performed better than ever before and pulled up better than ever also. She put in three fabulous phases to take out a 1* win at Friends of Werribee Horse Trials. I’m now looking towards her first 2* start in a few weeks’ time.

Based on my personal experience I’m happy to recommend Rose-Hip Vital without the slightest hesitation for both humans and horses. I’m looking forward to starting our dogs on the product soon too.”

"It is important that we have our horses fit, healthy and know that we have given them the best chance possible"

September 2015

My name is Sally Kirkwood and I am friends with Roger Fitzhardinge. He organised some Rose-Hip Vital for my husband Robert who was a jockey and now a race horse trainer as well as runs our cattle property in Charters Towers. Robert has already had one operation on his back and both knees are stuffed, he’s had operations on both of them as well.

Anyway BIG news! We have been feeding all of our race horses and my super star gay bay total champion of the CDI 4year old class in Brisbane Rose Hip Vital and guess what? Rose In Bloom who is a high maintenance highly strung race horse mare has just won a big race at the Cairns amateurs race meeting. OMG this is her first win for us and not only won but won by 3 lengths and running home strong!! It is very exciting and maybe just maybe it has something to do with the pep talk I gave her about the pal tin or maybe she is feeling freaking AWSOME and it may have something to do with the RHV!!! Robert swears that it makes a big difference to him and we have been taking ever since!! We have put heaps of people into it and just thought we should touch base and let you know.

October 2015

Our Rose-Hip Vital journey started over 12 months ago. Robert used to be an amateur jockey back in the good old days, as well as helping run the family cattle property. All the years of race riding, a few nasty race falls and hard work on the property has meant that the “good old days” caught up with him.

14 years ago he had surgery on his spine and over the last 6 years he has had an osteotomy for both knees. I am sure that we have funded many surgeon’s holiday funds!! We still see the neuro surgeon every 6-9 months as our next step is a fusion. Robert may not be as young and active as he once was but he is still riding our own track work every morning and running our cattle property. The neuro surgeon is also happy with how he is travelling and is quite pleased that he hasn’t needed quarterzone injections for over 12 months now.

We have had our race horses on Rose-Hip Vital for just over three months and we are very happy with the results. The majority of the horses that come to us are tried, older horses, and it is no secret that up here in North West Queensland our tracks are dry with harder surfaces. We have no doubt that Rose-Hip Vital assists our horses with their joint relief. Seeing as we ride our own track work we are lucky enough to get a real feel for the horses and how they are working and preforming. If we can help maintain our horse’s health and keep them feeling fit and happy, then surely that gives them every opportunity to put in 100% on race days.

We realise that there is no magic wand, however the fact that Robert can tell a major difference between taking it and not is a very big indication that Rose-Hip Vital works.

In this extremely competitive sport of thoroughbred racing, it is important that we have our horses fit, healthy and know that we have given them the best chance possible to go out there and run to the best of their abilities. This is why Rose-Hip Vital will be part of our training programme not only for our horses but the trainer as well.

Many thanks

Sally Kirkwood

I call Rose-Hip Vital my "anti vet bill in a bucket" or jar, as the case may be. I have a 34 year old mare (Cosi) on special retirement agistment. I absolutely HATE not having her with me any more, but she is relaxing in the company of like minded girls, spoilt rotten where she is, especially with her double doses of RHV each and every day. She is doing very well, considering that she recently lost my 34 year old OTTB, Maestro, during the horrific start to the heat waves in the beginning of the year. Ever heard of a 34 year old ex galloper? Not many of them around! The reason for his longevity was constant harassment of my stock feeders for what else I could feed him (he had no teeth), more love than he had ever known in his life, and RHV.

Maestro was my 34 year old off the track thoroughbred. Of any horse to have aches and pains, he would have been the one, thanks to the first 11 years of his life in the racing industry. He suffered through very cold winters when we lived in Kalgoorlie. Rugging him left his legs out, of course. The last few years however he was out in the paddock keeping up with the younger ones. Like Cosi, he was on a double dose of RHV. I lost him only a short time ago thanks to the continued heat waves we had in WA. He became terribly dehydrated, and colicked. I had to do what I had to do, and smashed my heart to pieces in the process. We had been together for 23 years.... That's a happy, shiny 34 year old horse. Bless his heart.... In that huge tub of shandy chaff (pictured below) and soaked hygain truecare is lots of RHV. Maestro had no teeth, so this kept him fat and happy.

So now the tradition continues with "The Fat Boys", 2 quarterhorses, father and son who were not gelded until very late in the day so they could fully develop. Because of my own physical illness, they don't really do much... although this will soon change. I feed RHV in small amounts twice a day as a preventive measure, especially coming into winter. They run amok as they should, but my investment in their health NOW means less of a chance of things going wrong in the future.

For my boy, Yogi, a noodleheaded German Shepherd, he gets a small preventative dose... and I knock myself out on capsules. After a massive heart attack a few years ago, living with type 1 diabetes, and dealing with Polymyalgia Rheumatica, anti inflammatory assistance is very, very high on my list.

"As BJ was getting on and doing a lot of jumping, I thought I would use it as preventative supplement. After 3 weeks on I could definitely feel the difference and BJ was in top form to continue the eventing season. I will keep him on it and have ordered my second bucket. He also loved it, no issue what so ever re palatability."
