Heard it on the grapevine -
Vine Herbal Products offer a large range of natural animal healthcare products.

One of the horse world’s best kept secrets, used and endorsed for many years by ex world champion three-day event riders Mark Todd and Blyth Tait, is now widely available fifteen years after the first product was developed. Vine Herbal Products have been used by trainers and competitors since as far back as 1994 when former steeplechase jockey Lui Carenza developed the first product, a comfrey cream for the treatment of horses’ minor cuts and sores. Over the years, more products have been developed and use of the natural liniment, creams and liquid supplements has spread largely through word of mouth and recommendation.

Taken up by top competitors, race horse trainers and veterinarians, Vine Herbal Products are professionally manufactured to British Herbal Pharmacopoeia (BHP) standards.

Most of the products are based on Chinese herbal remedies, with some formulas dating back 2000 years, and they have been used for many years by successful race horse and competition trainers. Now Vine Herbal Products offer a large range of natural animal healthcare products.

Rapid No 1 is a liniment recommended by champion trainers Paul Nicholls and Peter Chapple-Hyams for help with healing horses’ shins and splints. The marigold cream offers natural healing properties for minor cuts and skin irritations and both Mark Todd and Blyth Tait share a belief in the Calmer as ‘the best calming product available for horses.’ The range now extends to 16 products including shampoo that is gentle and safe for horses with sensitive and irritated skin.

Vine Herbal make no medicinal claims but all products have been developed by their own veterinary consultant and team of herbalists and the products are made from pure ingredients with the strictest industry quality control standards.

As natural, herbal products they are safe for competition and suited for all equestrian disciplines and horses competing at all levels. So what has grown from people ‘hearing about it on the grapevine’ is a range of natural products available for everyone to use, knowing they have been tried and tested by champions.
