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!

"Her coat is looking amazing and she is moving really well"

Mid December 2015

I have a 10yo mare who has had a skin condition on her back legs for the last 18months. She has been to numerous vets and been on several treatment trial with no luck. A friend of mine mentioned giving Rose-Hip Vital Equine a try.


End of January 2016

She’s going great! I got it for a mixture of things – she has a skin condition, and she had been recovering from tearing a ligament and slicing through her tendon sheath which got contaminated so surgery was a must. Her coat is looking amazing and she is moving really well – so much so I will be able to get on her next week to begin her ridden rehab! Thank you so much – the product is amazing.

The difference this has made to my QH gelding Taxi (16.2hh) is amazing, he is a big horse and takes a lot of feeding to keep him in shape. After 2 weeks of being on Rose-Hip Vital the change was incredible. Everywhere we went people asked if I had bought a new horse! His coat just glistened like a new copper coin, he was brighter and a bounce in his step!


I have another big palomino who has serious health issues and suffers with colic at the drop of a hat. Touch wood since introducing Rose-Hip Vital slowly to his diet he is continuing to improve. I really wish I had this stuff eighteen months ago, I am simply over the moon with the results for both boys.

"His coat looks amazing and he is healthier and happier than he has been in a long time"

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.

“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!!

"I started to see results within 3 weeks"

We have 6 horses in work that vary in age from 2 to 15. They have all been on Rose-Hip Vital Equine for about 7 months, including our mare and foal.

I started feeding it after all the trouble I was having with my current show horse ‘Tyrell Park Alil Stormy’. He used to have terrible trouble with his skin, infections and swelling of his legs.

When I started feeding it I was thinking it would take a few months for it to build up in their system before I started to see any results. I started to see results within 3 weeks.


Since using Rose-Hip Vital Stormy’s skin has improved out of sight. Anytime we used to travel anywhere he would break out in a rash and end up with an infection that would eventually need antibiotics to fix. He hasn’t broken out in a rash in over 6 months and his coat is glowing and healthy. I have also noticed since feeding Rose-Hip Vital my horses do not get bitten by mozzies.


I definitely find they aren’t pulling up as sore after strenuous work. Their muscles seem to recover quicker and we also haven’t had to inject our horses hocks or knees with pentosane since using Rose-Hip Vital.


We are always travelling for our sport and our horses spend plenty of time standing in stables and yards which would lead to their legs swelling within hours. I now can get through 3-4 days before I notice any swelling in their legs.
