“This is an amazing product”

Jack is my retired quarterhorse, currently around 30 years of age. In November 2012 he was diagnosed with degenerative arthritis and over the course of the following 13+ months, experienced a heartbreaking continual decline from mild lameness to completely refusing to lead, despite long courses of herbal and homeopathic remedies, remedial treatments and finally Bute. After discovering Rose-Hip Vital in late January 2013, I have seen gradual improvements for the first time since being diagnosed. He no longer stands for long periods holding his lame hoof in the air and leads freely (a few agistees have even caught him breaking into an awkward trot or a 3 legged canter from time to time). His farrier has been able to trim all 4 hooves and every few days he allows me to pick out all 4 hooves (whereas for quite some time, his favoured hind remained immovable to the ground). His farrier also commented on the excellent condition of his hooves and coat, which would indicate his improving health. Along with the freer movement, I have also noticed scouring issues clearing up and an overall heightened level of comfort, health and happiness. I will continue with the rosehips and for the first time am hopeful and confident of continuing improvements in his movement and comfort, which is my ultimate goal for his peaceful retirement.

My sincerest appreciation to Justin for your interest and support – this is an amazing product and a wonderful company to deal with!! We would not be without it now!!
