Nestled in the heart of Tinahely, County Wicklow, Fairwood Stables stands as a testament to the dedication and expertise of trainer Philip Rothwell. Specialising predominantly in National Hunt horses, Philip also holds a dual license, allowing him the flexibility to train both jump and flat racing horses. The recent integration of MonoShield Equine into his horses' diet has marked a pivotal moment in his training career.
Philip's journey with MonoShield Equine began approximately 12 months ago, seeking a solution to elevate his horses' performance and overall well-being. Before introducing MonoShield, Philip faced common challenges in racehorse training, such as optimising feed conversion, maintaining coat quality, and ensuring his horses had sufficient energy for demanding gallop sessions. These issues, though typical in the industry, required a reliable solution to enhance his horses' competitive edge.
The impact of MonoShield Equine was nothing short of transformative for Philip. "We've just finished up the 23/24 season on 43 winners, which is our best-ever season!" Philip exclaims, attributing this remarkable success to the benefits brought by MonoShield Equine. His horses displayed significantly better feed conversion, allowing them to derive more nutrients from their diet, leading to improved health and performance. Their coats maintained a healthy shine throughout the season, a visible sign of their enhanced internal health.
Moreover, the energy levels of his horses saw a remarkable boost. "They seem to have much more energy on the gallop," Philip notes.. The cumulative effect of these improvements was evident in the stables' outstanding results, culminating in a record-breaking season with 43 winners.
"I'm hugely pleased with the product and I'm going to continue using it on all of my horses for the future."
Having been in the industry for 25 years, Philip's faith in MonoShield Equine is significant.
"It's the first product I've come across in 25 years that I absolutely 100% believe in and have seen the results."
As Philip looks to the future, MonoShield Equine remains a cornerstone of his training philosophy, promising continued success for Fairwood Stables in the competitive world of National Hunt racing.
