In May 2014 I attended a seminar in Hobart presented by Justin from Rose-Hip Vital and Roger Fitzhardinge. It was organised by my coach Lydia Jackson of Kingston Agistment and Training Centre who had heard about the product via Roger. I listened intently and I went home with a goody bag including 250 RHV with GOPO capsules. I’m not one to jump on a bandwagon, not until I have at least listened to a few of their songs. I also like to research, a lot, and I know I’m not alone there. So before I would try RHVE on my FEI horse Sunbury Lodge Toronto, I thought I would try RHV on myself first. I took the loading dose and then another month of RHV capsules. I noticed the impact of RHV with GOPO on my wellbeing when I STOPPED taking them. My energy levels decreased, I injured my calf muscle, my knee joints started to protest and I just didn’t feel as well as I did when I was taking them. It took me a few weeks to realise it but when I did I went straight back on to RHV and I haven’t looked back. In January I ran my first half – marathon, injury free (I only started training for it in November). I have also managed to dodge every cold and flu that has been going around.
In early December 2014 I started Sunbury Lodge Toronto (Tiny) on his loading course of RHVE. We had been slowly increasing the intensity of Tiny’s work as the goal was to be competing at FEI Medium Tour in the late Spring. Tiny’s health and well-being are paramount and knowing how much RHV helped me I knew that RHVE would help him. By January I already noticed many changes. His coat, skin and muscle tone had improved. You could say he was “glowing with health and vitality”. His capacity for work was amazing and it was with such great enthusiasm too. However the most noticeable change was in the quality of his work, in particular the capacity to extend in trot had improved immensely, with better cadence and greater reach. This weekend we achieved a great result, Tiny was awarded Champion FEI Medium Tour at the Peter Horobin Tasmanian State Dressage Championships. Horse management and training is like a huge puzzle and RHVE is the final critical piece in Tiny’s management program. It is the only supplement I choose to feed.
Thank you RHVE we wouldn’t be FEI Medium Tour Champions without this great product.
