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!

My horse Pippin damaged a suspension ligament after the Aus Showjumping champs a few years ago. We had to box rest her for 6 weeks with a cast and the vet recommend that she needed a year and a half off work and may not jump again.
After the box rest she was still lame on her leg so the healing process was going to take time. I started using Rose-Hip Vital after a friend recommended it. I thought it couldn’t hurt to try, after 8 weeks I noticed my mare start to move better in the field and her coat started to shine again.
I kept her on Rose-Hip Vital the whole time in recovery and she has now made a full recovery; no lameness, she is healthy and happy and back to showjumping again.
I truely believe that Rose-Hip Vital played a big part in her healing process, I was sceptical as there are allot of products out there but rosehip really does work.
My mare is back on top form and looking amazing. She is even moving better than before her injury. I call Rose-Hip Vital the magical supplement and would highly recommend it to anyone.

My horse tutu suffered from stringhalt 2 years ago; we tried absolutely everything u could imagine to help him, it was really bad where he had to be locked in a yard to restrict movement, he would spend ages lifting his back leg up and struggling to put it down. The vet always had faith he would recover with time, my worry was that if he did recover, would he have problems with his joints and movement as the string halt was a 5/5 bad.
I put him on Rose-Hip Vital straight away just in case that would cause less inflammation in his legs.
He has now after 2 years made a full recovery, he is back to dressage and showjumping and the vet reckons that the Rose-Hip Vital did help with his joints, he had no aches or pains in his back end from loss of muscle.
It really has helped so many horses I know and I do believe it played a huge part in helping him with recovery.
I’ve just competed in some international dressage classes and he scored 73%.

Over the holidays I competed in the Marcus Oldham Interschool’s Championships in Toowoomba Queensland. The trip involved an 18 hour drive from Melbourne to Toowoomba with my horse Louie. The preparation before the event was many months of hard training every week.
We started Louie on Rose-Hip Vital Equine at the beginning of winter when we started to notice some changes in his recovery. Rose-Hip Vital has kept Louie in good condition, maintained a healthy immune system and protects his joints from inflammation.
We knew the trip from home just north of Melbourne to Toowoomba could affect Louie so we doubled his dose two weeks before we left and for the whole time we were away. This meant Louie was in top condition for competition despite the long journey.
Being an older horse, I have found that since putting Louie onto Rose-Hip Vital he has become more agile and less stiff through his muscles and joints. This gave me the reassurance that my horse was going to be in perfect competition condition before the event, throughout the duration of the event and that he would recover quickly.
Louie and I managed to place 10th overall in Australia for our 90cm show jumping level and it’s thanks to Rose-Hip Vital that I can confidentially say he had the correct preparation and body condition to compete at a national competition and recover well. His recovery from the return trip home was so good he was out and about competing in the ISJ and won Reserve Champion in the progressive 95cm class just two weeks later.

ROSE-HIP VITAL has been an essential part of our feeding programme for the last 6 months and after seeing the all-round improvement in the horses general wellbeing and condition it will remain an essential part of their ongoing maintenance programme.
Both Matilda’s horses have done lots of miles and are at a stage where, as showjumpers they are starting to feel their age. Since using ROSEHIP VITAL Todd (Dreamtime Invader) is looking and feeling better than ever. He started the year winning the Victorian State Young Rider Title and then went up to Sydney for the Sydney Royal Easter Show and SIEC Weekend Of World Cups, he copes with the travel and heavy workload much better with the help of RHV. He is such a special horse and we want to do everything we can to keep him sound for as long as possible, we believe ROSEHIP VITAL will help keep him at the top of his game for longer. We have just retired Matildas’ other horse Janey (Eliza Jane) from serious competition as we feel she has done a fantastic job for Matilda and its time for her to teach someone else the ropes, ROSEHIP VITAL will continue to be part of her programme with her new rider as it definitely helps her warm up much looser and look and feel more comfortable. She will eventually come home to be an Aunt to the babies!
I can't imaging not including RHV in any of our horses diets after seeing the obvious difference in their before and after condition.

I just wanted to update you on my horses and the effect that Rose-Hip 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 Rose-Hip 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 Rose-Hip 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.
