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!

I’m a dressage rider whose passion for the sport is currently somewhat greater than her ability. I’m working on the ability part but, as a “mature” rider (at least in body if not in outlook) I find that the day to day demands of keeping two dressage horses in work, combined with time at my desk and days on my feet in my professional life as a consultant and trainer mean that the body sometimes just doesn’t feel up to the demands I make on it.
I’m committed to putting the work in but with a body aching and hurting in very inconvenient places (back, hips, shoulders, and pretty much everything connected to them), it can be a struggle. Up to now, my routine pre-ride was to pop enough ibuprofen to deal with the pain and to hell with the consequences afterward.
Riding is my passion, and my release, and no pain was going to stop me doing what I love! About four months ago, one day while working at my desk, Roger Fitzhardinge popped up on my computer, (I suspect I was live streaming a dressage event while I was supposedly working) extolling the virtues of Rose-Hip Vital.
He sounded very convincing but it all seemed just a bit too good to be true. However, my interest was piqued and I started to research Rose-Hip Vital; the more I found out, the more interested I became until I finally succumbed and bought a bottle of the Rose-Hip Vital with GOPO capsules to try out. At this point I should note that I’m a dreadful skeptic when it comes to supplements for either me or for my horses and while I really hoped that the claims about Rose-Hip Vital would be true, I was still very skeptical.
Not only were all the claims I’d read true, I’m actually tempted to say that they were understating the benefits! I’ve been amazed and delighted at the affect it’s had. No more ibuprofen – I now have a body that can do what I want it to do easily and without pain. For the first time in years I can get serious about fitness (I can run again – I don’t like it but I can do it!) and instead of feeling like a crippled octogenarian after riding two horses, I could now happily ride another one.
The next logical step was to consider that my two 13 year old dressage horses, who work hard and are starting to train some of the higher level movements, might be feeling just like I was. If I felt so much better, how good would it be if they could feel the same? So, they were the next guinea pigs and both started on Rose-Hip Vital in early April.
As noted on the packaging, it took around 4 weeks at the loading dose to make a discernible difference but by week four both horses were moving more freely, felt more supple and were generally happier in their work. We’re now three months down the track and I’m thrilled to say that the improvement has continued. Jed, my 16hh chestnut warmblood with a great work ethic, is finding the movements we’re working on much easier and is starting to perform them with some competence when the rider sorts herself out and gives the right aids.
Gandalf, my 16.2hh grey warmblood with a chequered history, is the happiest I’ve seen him. From a horse who would hardly move when he came to me two years ago, I now have a happy athlete who is proving to have some real talent and is happier to work harder. He’s a complete nut in the paddock and it’s a joy to see a horse galloping and bucking just for the sheer pleasure of it. If he decided to display his exuberance that way while I was riding, I might not be quite so enthusiastic; thankfully he’s a gentleman under saddle!
Perhaps the most exciting thing is that Rose-Hip Vital Equine has meant that our training, which has always been two steps forward, one, two or even three steps back, is now moving inexorably forward without the setbacks of stiffness and soreness for any of us. Sure, there are times when my muscles are screaming out after a couple of intense rides and I’m sure that both horses are the same but that’s just a case of fitness and building the right muscle function and capability to cope with the work. Muscles can be managed relatively easily.
While my main focus has been on the mobility enhancing properties of Rose-Hip Vital, I’ve also noticed an effect in terms of general health benefits for both my horses. Their coats are gleaming and have come back in better than ever before after being clipped this year and they generally look a picture of health and wellbeing.
I’d love to say that I look younger and more glamorous and gorgeous than ever before but Rose-Hip Vital is a natural anti-inflammatory, nutritional supplement for joint health and general wellbeing, not a miracle powder!
Thank goodness I overcame my skepticism and gave Rose-Hip Vital a go – I’m fitter and feel great, my horses are fitter and obviously happier in the paddock and at work and we’re all set to get out there again and start competing again after a two year break. Now that’s a scary thought!

Having led a seriously sporting life from a young age and being competitive by nature, my body has had it's share of gruelling times. Being a Physiotherapist I know the problems with joints and ageing, wear and tear, it's inevitable and especially when an active sporting lifestyle has been a way of life. More to the point is that I am still wanting to be active and competitive. My joints ache but I ignore them or take anti inflammatories.
I have tried many different joint formulas and can say that I have never found any benefit and it wasn't from the lack of trying. I was asked for some photos to use in an advertising campaign for Rose-Hip Vital. I had a meeting to discus the pictures needed and found out a little about Rose-Hip Vital (here we go another one of those natural therapies!!!). Now being skeptical about additives for horses etc I was not prepared to use it. It wasn't free and how can you tell in an equine athlete. I then said if it worked on people then I would consider it of benefit to horses.
I did start the Rose-Hip Vital and despite my ho hum attitude I have been truly blown away with the result. I can not tell enough people the difference it has made to my life. I am fitter, thinner and healthier and my joint pain is without doubt minimised. I am on no other medication at all and I can absolutely say that Rose-Hip Vital has changed my life. I can get out of bed and walk straight down the stairs with out any problem which I haven't done for years. My wrists and thumbs no longer hurt and I have not run a step for years and the other day I had to hurry to get somewhere and I ran without thinking and when I got there a bit puffed I realised what I had just done!!
There is no question at all, that Rose-Hip Vital is an amazing additive to my life and I will not go a day without it.
I have to say that above all I have not felt so fit and healthy for years and I have not changed a thing. I simply feel better and have less joint pain so I am able to do more and so the wheel goes around. I feel fantastic and of course this all leads to a better mind set and positive outlook. My life is all good and whats more so many people have asked how come I look fitter and healthier and that I am riding better. The answer is obvious! It's exciting.
Of course my horses are both on Rose-Hip Vital and Weltsohn who 15 months ago sustained a serious stifle injury that required surgery and the prognosis from top vets here in Australia and America gave him little hope. 12 months later he became sound and I was able to start working him gently and this was the time I was trying Rose-Hip Vital and believed it helped so Sonny started. Its been three months and he looks fantastic. He has bloomed from a hairy no muscled unathletic looking dressage horse who was a Grand Prix Athlete 15 months ago. He is healthy and shiny and back to being his excitable self.
Above all he is having no problem with his joint at all and the scans and Xrays are remarkable. I attribute his lucky break to great vet attention and prompt and appropriate treatment and above all rest. I never thought he would come sound and nor did most vets. He did and now Rose-Hip Vital is helping keep him on track. Never believed I would ride another Grand Prix test on him and he travelled to Melbourne for his first competition and was Fantastic. Totally healthy and placed mid field. His luck was that he developed a foot abscess and I had to withdraw. His stifle is perfect and his health is the best ever. He is absolutely as he was prior to the injury. I am sure Rose-Hip Vital is working. It's a wonderful product and I swear by it for me and my horses.

November 2013 Nine weeks ago I started feeding Rose-Hip Vital Equine to my Grand Prix dressage horse, Oscar B. Since then I noticed a marked improvement in Oscar's suppleness, soundness and wellbeing, with less recovery needed between training sessions. People cannot believe that he is 17.
On Oct 5th, Oscar and I were back in the Grand Prix arena at our first competition in over 2 years. We both had so much fun and even came home with a win. I have been so impressed with the results on Oscar B that I am now using Rose-Hip Vital Equine on all of my competition horses with great results.
May 2014
Oscar B has now been on Rose-Hip Vital Equine for 7 months. Since the initial improvement in his suppleness and well-being, I have now noticed I can increase work levels in our training sessions and really work hard on movements he has struggled with over the years without the worry of damaging his legs or brain as now he is feeling so fit and strong and loving his work. I’m just so excited to be enjoying our daily training sessions.
Oscar has taught me so much our partnership has been 15 years long and I love the enthusiasm he has for work even as he turns 18 this year. Flowervale Florenz is the young man of my stable but is a big powerful horse. Since being on Rose-Vital Equine, I have noticed improvements in the condition of his coat and feet, along with his suppleness and strength during work. As Florenz's work level becomes more demanding of him both physically and mentally, I have really noticed how well he is recovering from these sessions each time.
Since seeing my horses and my clients horses flourish on Rose-Hip Vital Equine, I began taking it myself. It’s great to be able to experience what the horses must feel while taking Rose-Hip Vital overall body wellness as well as keeping all those aches and pains at bay.
I also put my dog on Rose-Hip Vital Canine. She developed chronic arthritis in her back leg and has been very lame on it for the past couple of years, however after only being on the Rose-Hip for a short period of time, to my amazement she was back to running around with the other dogs again.
From horses to dogs to humans Rose-Hip Vital really looks after my whole family.
February 2015
Since retiring Oscar B from the Grand Prix competition arena at the end of 2014, I stopped giving him Rose-Hip Vital Equine and the change was dramatic. He went extremely lame and just looked really sore and uncomfortable. I put him straight back on Rose-Hip Vital and within 4 weeks he was again sound and acting like a 2 year old again in the paddock. I was so relieved to see him happy and healthy again.
World Star is getting stronger and fitter each time we compete, after a great show on Feb 1st World Star won the PSG with a massive 74%! I thought he may be tired the next day but alas he was squealing and leaping in his paddock. It’s great seeing him so happy and feeling fantastic as he has had a bad run over the years with his body.
I have seen so many great results with Rose-Hip Vital in my clients and friends horses, from all kind of issues like muscle soreness, navicular issues, arthritis/joint pain, stiffness, older horses all these horses have improved since starting on Rose-Hip Vital Equine and are in work, happy, healthy and out competing successfully which is fantastic and I just love seeing these results with happy horses and happy riders.

“Peanut today has been moving freer and happier to be rode”
I bought this for my 10-year-old mare that has been “crippled” or “off” for 5 years. She was excellent and super-fast barrel horse at age 4 but when she was 5 she got her halter caught on the trailer, panicked, and pulled back. I believe this messed up her pull which then led to her back and into each over her legs overtime after still competing and training. She started limping but she would favor a different leg every time. I saw a horse on one of your videos that moved a lot like Peanut so I thought “well it’s can’t hurt to try”. Peanut today has been moving freer and happier to be rode, she’s not completely sound yet but she’s getting really close!
I have been very happy with the results!

“After 3 weeks on Rose-Hip Vital, Blaze is so much more forward and willing!”
Since purchasing Blaze in March 2019, he has been having some performance issues. I had a vet check done; they couldn’t find any issues. He gets regular massages, which he loves! But they don’t seem to help relieve his stiffness much and he saw a chiropractor who said he couldn’t really find any obvious reason for his stiffness. I noticed he was worse, very jerky and stiff going downhill and would often be very hesitant or refuse to go downhill.
My chiropractor suggested I try Blaze on some joint formula, and I had seen Rose-Hip Vital advertised and after I watched a couple of videos and read some reviews I decided to give it a go.
After 3 weeks on Rose-Hip Vital, Blaze is so much more forward and willing! In addition to being a more willing partner, I believe Rose-Hip Vital helped improve his overall condition. He is looking amazing! I definitely recommend this product to anyone who’s horse is having performance issues or is suffering from any joint related pain.

Flighty’s condition before taking Rose-Hip Vital was that she would short step on her right hind leg. And could not trot nor canter properly.

We are now also working cattle to get ready for our cutting season next year.

My name is Susan Paix and I own the grey mare Sheer Etiquette (Ellie). In 2011 we started competing at Grand Prix International and continued at that level until 2018. Unfortunately arthritic changes and stiffness set in for Ellie (and me) 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. As she began to get better and better I watched with curiosity and decided to try Rose Hip Vital for myself. My rheumatoid arthritis seems to have disappeared and I feel fantastic.
Therefore Ellie and I, brand new, are going back into competition at the ripe age of 20 and me at 60 something. This is so exciting for us as we both love competing. Life is too short to be unhealthy. Thank you Rose Hip Vital!

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!

Prince was experiencing hind end weakness...the most obvious sign was that he was dragging his hind toes. You could literally see trails behind us. He was losing muscle, stiff and reluctant under saddle. Not good as we had just starting bringing home some placings in dressage after years of work. Vet confirmed no injuries or concerns - it was a case of stiffness. I train Prince with classical and scientific principles in mind and whilst I believe we could improve his situation with correct and kind training I felt that he needed some support to make his journey easier. This is where Rose-Hip Vital has come in. After 1 month Prince started giving a few trot strides with all hooves clearing the ground, then a quarter circle, then a whole circle. Suddenly we could do shoulder-fore in walk and even some trot! Something we had been battling with for so so long became possible. Prince is feeling so much stronger now, his trot feels so comfy to sit to, he is quieter in the mouth and feels so eager and willing. I truly believe without adding in Rose-Hip Vital we would still be battling up hill in our training. Now the hardwork continues to keep training Prince in such a way that improves his body and keeping him healthy for years to come. With Rose-Hip Vital on our side also! Thank you for Rose-Hip Vitall! We love it.
