Success Stories
We want to make a genuine and lasting difference to horses, which is why we developed MonoShield Equine. To us, there is no greater reward than hearing your success stories and seeing the improvements in the photos you share with us. Here are just some of the horses we have helped, from happy hackers to race winners and everything in between.
Watch our Success Stories
Philip Rothwell Racing
Philip Rothwell of Fairwood Stables in Tinahely, County Wicklow trains predominantly National Hunt horses but has a dual license.
“We've just finished up the 23/24 season on 43 winners which is our best ever season! We started using MonoShield Equine about 12 months ago and we have found a huge number of benefits to using the product: way better feed conversion, their coats have stayed much better, they seem to have much more energy on the gallop and it's definitely telling in our results."
"I'm hugely pleased with the product and I'm going to continue using it on all of my horses for the future."
"It's the first product I've come across in 25 years that I absolutely 100% believe in and have seen the results".
Ardeo Sport Horses
Neil and Melanie from Ardeo Sport Horses have been using MonoShield Equine for around seven months.
"We have had wonderful results with all our horses on this product. They are a lot calmer, they look a lot better, they're eating and they're settled. Another benefit we've seen is in the tacking up. Horses tell you straight away if they're uncomfortable as they don't like having the saddle on and they'll dance or they're biting you when having the girth tightened, but that's completely stopped.
We now introduce all the new horses that come in on to MonoShield Equine from day one and they're on it right through until they leave.”
Cheshire Racehorse Retraining
Spider arrived at with Vicky at Cheshire Racehorse Retraining quite underweight and under-muscled with a very dull coat after being turned away for a few years after after his racing career ended. In a very short space of time, Spider has made a miraculous recovery with the help of MonoShield Equine. In just a few short weeks “his coat is incredible and he has gone from strength to strength”, says Vicky.
Spider’s behaviour has also drastically improved as he has become a much happier horse. “When he first arrived you couldn’t touch his sides. He would pin his ears back and swing his quarters away from you like he was guarding himself. Now you can touch him all over and he loves it”.
“If he isn’t proof that the product works, then I don’t know what is”.
Tom Gretton Racing
Tom Gretton has been using MonoShield Equine on his racehorses for several months and has had great results for a number of issues. One horse “with poor topline is benefitting massively and looks like a completely different horse now and the one with the fizzy attitude is much more relaxed”.
Fancy Stuff has been on MonoShield since the spring. After having a very long drawn-out season waiting for the right ground, she held her form throughout the season and ended it with two race wins. Tom credits MonoShield with helping her maintain her form and “getting more nutrients out of the food”.
Tom also loves how easy MonoShield is to administer - “one squirt, very easy, very palatable and makes my life easier as a trainer”.
Jo Davis Racing
Jo Davis started using MonoShield 12 months ago and found it “unbelievable” and “amazing in so many different ways”. Her yard in Wiltshire is home to a mixture of eventers, ponies, racehorses and livery horses and now every horse is put on MonoShield as it arrives.
Jo’s daughter’s pony is one of her main success stories as ‘naughty Bobby’ used to spend “most of his time on his head bucking and generally being difficult”. Bobby hasn’t been up to his usual tricks for quite a few months now and Jo says “it’s 100% due to the MonoShield”.
Jo has tried many different products which profess to be the next best thing and says that “nothing has worked, this is the only product we’ve used that’s worked”.
“They keep their toplines better, they get more out of their feed, we can work them harder, they eat up better and they’re just generally much happier horses”.
Darryl Walker
Irish Showjumper and Eventer Darryl Walker has seen a huge difference in his seven competiton horses after using MonoShield for around 4 weeks. “I’m delighted with how they look, their skin is so much better, their condition is definitely improving and the ridability is definitely easier. It’s making my life a lot easier”, says Darryl.
Darryl has had his 11 year-old eventer, Derek, since a 5 year old and has never been happy with his skin and coat. After just a few weeks on MonoShield his coat is gleaming and he’s starting to fill out more instead of looking “empty” as Darryl described him before.
“I feel that when you can see the horse looking well from the outside, they definitely have to be feeling better on the inside”.
Jolly Bay at Jo Davis Racing
Jolly Bay has always been a challenge! She’s been difficult for Jo Davis and her team to manage and train, who were always having to stop her work, medicate her with Omeprazole until she started eating properly, and repeat this process continually throughout her training regime.
After being on MonoShield she is “the nicest, kindest filly now where before you’d be ducking her legs and teeth. If you tried to tack her up she’d be trying to savage you”. “She’s a completely different horse to before she went on MonoShield”, says Jo.
“She’s testament to how much difference it can make to a horse”.
Peanut at Cheshire Racehorse Retraining
Rachel helps out at Cheshire Racehorse Retraining where she bought her horse Peanut in 2019. Having been previously unable to ride Peanut, Rachel is now able to ride him again after him being on MonoShield Equine for around 6 weeks.
Rachel tried Peanut on “virtually every single supplement going” after he was scoped and diagnosed with stage 4 stomach ulcers, and after no success she came across MonoShield Equine via a Facebook post and hasnt looked back.
“It’s been the best thing. He’s not tender around his tummy anymore, he’s happier in himself, his eyes have gone soft again, his feet have improved… he’s just completely changed”.
Aidy at Cheshire Racehorse Retraining
Aidy has been with Vicky at Cheshire Racehorse Retraining for the last 3 years and is her hacking buddy. Vicky notes that he’s always had very smelly droppings, but one day about 3 weeks after she put him on MonoShield Equine, he did a poo when she was in his stable and she couldnt smell it! “Ever since then his poos have just been normal!” says Vicky.
Vicky was also never able to touch across his chest as he’d stamp his feet and he was also very tense and sore to the touch around his poll, but now, in Vicky’s words, he’s “so much happier”!

A different horse in just 2 weeks
"I bought my 6 year old thoroughbred, Sage, from Ireland. He arrived in very poor condition and after full veterinary health checks including X-Rays and gastric scoping, he was diagnosed with severe gastric ulcers", explains Georgina Cart. "After various courses of prescribed medication, Sage hadn't made a huge improvement and then went rapidly downhill again when on box rest for an injury. I was at my wits end, having spent my insurance limit on veterinary bills, when I came across MonoShield Equine. After just 2 weeks on the product, Sage was a different horse. He went from biting and kicking when having his rug changed to a friendly, placid and happy horse. He gained weight easily and his coat began to shine again". Georgina, based in Clevedon, Somerset, says "I can't recommend this product enough and will never be without it again".
10 Days on MonoShield Equine
Another horse showing fantastic results in such a short space of time. His owners can't believe the difference already and look forward to continuing his journey to becoming a happier and healthier horse with the help of MonoShield Equine.
10 Weeks on MonoShield Equine
What a transformation. This horse has gone from having poor coat and body condition and unable keep weight on, to fit, strong and competition-ready with the help of MonoShield Equine, alongside a consistent routine of fittening and strengthening lateral work. Well done!
8 Days on MonoShield Equine
Yes, this is the difference in coat shine, condition and topline after this horse has been on MonoShield Equine for just 8 days. We can't believe it either.
"My Daughter has her pony back"
"All I can say about the product is that my daughter's 148 pony could hardly be sat on 5 weeks ago due to bucking, sensitivity around the girth area etc. This monday, she competed him and won the 1mt jump off in Wexford Equestrian so from my perspective the product is fantastic."
Philip Rothwell's stunning season continues
Irish Racehorse trainer Philip Rothwell, based in Tinahely, Co. Wicklow, has been using MonoShield Equine on his horses in training over the past 12 months. Philip has had an astounding 42 winners in the last 12 months (a career best) since using MonoShield Equine. His stunning season continued with a 92-1 double at Tranmore.
