"I just wanted to write and tell you what a difference Riaflex Complete has made to my Welsh x Arab mare 'Africa'.

"In 2007 Africa's whole riding attitude changed and she went from a lively ride with lots of attitude to being quite withdrawn and almost appeared depressed. In Feb 2008, at the age of 14, she went lame for no apparent reason. She was diagnosed with Arthritis in both hocks and one coffin joint and early signs of Navicular in the other front foot. I was devastated, I've had Africa since she was 18 months old and she has always been well looked after and only ridden lightly.

"Throughout 2008 and early 2009 the vets gave her numerous treatments which included steroids into the joints and then finally two dose's of the Tildren drug. She was also on a very well known joint supplement that the vet recommended. None of this appeared to make any difference and she was still lame in trot. In Feb 2009 my insurance claim reached it's limit and Africa was still lame.

"I then came across your website and showed the information about Riaflex complete to my vet. He agreed that the dose of the product was a good level and better than the joint supplement she was currently on so I agreed to give it a try.

"Within three months of giving her the higher dose she was sound...! She has been sound ever since and her 'attitude' is back to her normal cheeky self. She was 17 in May and is still sound. We completed a 10 mile pleasure ride last week.

"I put the wonderful condition Africa is in now down to Kate and Riaflex Complete. It has made such a huge difference to her quality of life and I have recommended it to all my friends. Thank you so much Kate for your fantastic product and your excellent customer service."
Nichole Waller & Africa, Essex (Riaflex Complete)

"Many thanks again for your fantastic canine joint plus product. My boy is a failed guide dog who was diagnosed with bilateral cruciate disease in both hind legs when he was only a year old - now he has 2 plates and numerous screws in each leg after the cruciates snapped and he required full TPLO surgery. He had been on a full dosage of metacam (pain killer) daily ever since and also had an ulcer on his right rear leg. We had been trying homeotherapy, hydrotherapy and massage on him but were unable to get him off the metacam until we bought your riaflex joint plus which is doing wonders. Thank you once again for all your help."
Liz Kordula (Canine Joint Plus)

"I just wanted to thank you for your extremely prompt delivery service! Riaflex has given my dog her youth back and I have found that now she has been on it for approx 9 months her light limp has even disapeared!! I have only got you to thank, so thank you once again for all your help "
Kerry Fowler (Canine Joint Plus)

"My six year old mare was written off by the vet as unrideable a few months ago, following a stifle operation due to a joint condition. I started her on Riaflex Complete and now she is not only coming back into work but is a completely different horse. The vet is stunned. I tell all my friends about your product and can't thank you enough for giving me back my horse."
Emma Slawinski & Ruby, West Sussex (Riaflex Complete)

"I am a very impressed user of Riaflex 50:50 for my horse "Berry" who is a 25yo welsh X. He has a very common condition in his hocks due to old age. Although he has never actually been lame he had become uncomfortable when standing to have his feet picked out or for the farrier, when his hocks are flexed for prolonged periods of time. I also noted marked stiffness when he had been stood in his stable overnight and unwillingness to flex and engage his hocks when ridden. As a Veterinary Nurse I have access to information on a wide range of products made by many different companies to help in the maintenance of mobility and challenged joints. Initially I used an alternative brand of supplement which I feel only had marginal affect on Berry. After searching the internet I found the Riaflex page and started to read and compare ingredients and strengths with the literature I had from other companies and I could not find another product which was available to rival the value for money or strength of ingredients found in the riaflex products. Berry is like a new horse when ridden as he is now applying himself and flexing when asked. When I had his annual back check with the osteopath the other week she commented on how his suppleness in his hind legs had improved! So thank you Kate for turning back the years on my Berry and giving me my horse back!! I would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone in a similar circumstance to my own! "
Davina Hopper, VN & Berry (Riaflex 50:50)

"Having tried without success many of the brand name products on the market for joint care, I read with interest your informative website and decided to give Riaflex a go. My horse was diagnosed with a condition in both hocks in 2006. In conjunction with my vet we treated him with a drug called Tildren, but he showed little improvement. I discussed Riaflex with my vet who also believes that it is the most cost effective product with high daily levels compared to the brand leader that she would usually recommend. " To my delight my horse is now competing at novice dressage. I am so impressed with the results that Riaflex have given which has the added bonus of excellent customer service from Kate."
Sue Cain, Hertfordshire (Riaflex Complete)

"My 21 year old TB, Harry, has severe stiffness in both hocks due to a very common condition. Having evented and competed in affiliated dressage most of his life, his joints have had high demands placed on them, and as he grows older I am ever more aware of the need to support his joint health in the best way possible. Having been recommended Riaflex by a friend, I read the very informative website and decided to try Riaflex Complete. I cannot tell you what a huge difference it has made to Harry's life. We are now out competing and to my delight have won several dressage competitions, have placed 2nd In the Veteran horse Society regional Championships, placed every time out at county level, and qualified for the South West Veteran of the year 2006 and 2007. Considering my horse had a very negative outlook from the vets he is certainly not looking or acting his age. Harry is not just a horse to me he is my legs through debilitating injury and illness and I feel that the least I owe him is the best joint care I can possibly find. I have absoluitely no doubt that the maintenance of my horses joints is down to Riaflex. I am so impressed with this product that I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to others knowing that the impact it has is well worth the money. Thank you Kate for allowing us to achieve our competative ambitions and for providing fantastic customer service. You are always so quick to respond to any questions with informative, impartial, honest advice. Harry's success is the only proof I need that this product really does work!"
Britta Francis & Harry, Avon (Riaflex Complete)

"I have owned Nellie for over 20 years, and sadly in 2006 she suffered from a broken stifle in the field. Not holding out much hope for her future, my vet suggested I try her with one of the leading brands of joint supplements. After 4 months of using a well known product at its maximum dose, together with a sachet of Danilon every day, there was still no improvement. Thankfully, a friend recommended I give Nellie Riaflex Complete and within 1 month I could see a positive difference in Nellie's mobility. She has now astounded us all, including my vet, as you would never know she had such a severe injury, when watching her move. I put the wonderful condition my horse is in down to Kate, and want to thank her for giving me my horse back. I have no doubt that if I hadn't have sought her advice my horse would still be suffering horribly from the injury she sustained and may not have been with me for another winter."
Jacqueline Ireland & Nellie, (Riaflex Complete)

"I've been feeding Riaflex 50:50 to Sooti, my 10 yr old Welsh x mare, for a few months now and am delighted with the improvement in her hocks. Prior to being given this supplement her ridden work was often tense and hollow - especially if asked for any lateral work - and she would fidget excessively when her hind feet were trimmed, often snatching them away as soon as they were picked up. She's now much more relaxed to ride, freer in her lateral work and is happy to have her feet held up to be trimmed - so much so that my Equine Podiatrist recently remarked that Sooti felt much more supple and asked me what I had changed. After the first month I gave her a break from Riaflex and found that she deteriorated rapidly. I now plan to keep her on this supplement for life."
Evie O'Keeffe & Sooti, West Yorkshire (Riaflex 50:50)

"Ethan was diagnosed with a joint problem in his off hind last year aged just 5 and his movement is generally quite stiff. Although he always worked when asked he continuously looked uncomfortable and found it very hard to work from behind. He is now much looser, more forward going and now works with ears pricked which leads me to believe he is now pain free and happy. I have been extremely happy with the product."
Angie Pulham, Darlington (Riaflex 50:50)

"Bruno had hunted hard from the age of 5. When we acquired him at age 13, we put him on another well known joint supplement and cider vinegar in the hope of extending his useful life. Despite this, he became unlevel during hunting preparation and x-rays confirmed the diagnosis of a common joint problem. He received extensive veterinary treatment, which did little to help our situation. So I decided to try Riaflex Complete. We have now been able to reduce his Danilon from 5 sachets to 2, which we hope to reduce further over the next few weeks. Bruno is not suitable for retirement. He hates living out and it's impossible to keep his weight under control without work. Riaflex Complete has given us hope that he can be given a couple more good years. For feeding Riaflex complete my vet agrees with my decision. It offers a higher specification for a much more affordable price."
Janet George, Stottesdon (Riaflex Complete)

"Lucy is a collie rescue dog who has a common joint problem and stiffness in her legs due to old untreated fractures. Without treatment Lucy seems stiff and slow and has limited movement, particularly in her forelegs. She has trouble getting up from her bed, and is quite slow when out on walks. Since using Riaflex Glucosamine people have started to comment about how much more bouncy and lively she is, she will play fetch for ages, and enjoys having a good run around when out for walks. She doesn't seem quite so stiff getting out of her bed in the mornings, and generally looks like a younger dog in her overall movements. I find that Riaflex is very good value compared to other products I have used, and is easy to administer."
Sarah Dixon, Dublin (Riaflex Glucosamine Canine)

"I have owned my golden retriever Sundance for 13 years. Last year he started to become very stiff in his back legs and was having trouble getting up. I started to try a number of products but unfortunately these did not help him. A friend then recommended that I try Riaflex, so I contacted Kate and was advised to try him on the Riaflex Complete. Within 3 weeks I could see a drastic change in his mobility, he even started to jump about with my puppy acting like one himself. After trying all the other products and not getting anywhere I was sceptical at first, but Riaflex really worked and helped Sundance maintain his mobility. I would just like to say thank you Kate for bringing Riaflex to us and helping my very special boy when he needed it. It’s a great product that I have recommended to many people."
Debbie Shephard and Sundance, Potton (Riaflex Complete Canine)

"Roscoe has had stiffness in his hocks for several years. However he is now 13 and enjoys a very competitive life in both dressage and show jumping. In the last year he became so stiff he looked and felt off and was unable to work from behind effectively. He was also excessively clicky. Within a month of feeding him Riaflex Complete his clicking reduced significantly and he became so much looser. He now works evenly and with ease from behind and he is far more able to compete to the best of his abilities."
