Lanaken World Championships – Plusvital Ambassadors in Action

• Mikey Pender was crowned the 5-year-old World Champion on HHS Private Ryan, owned by Hughes Horse Stud.

Mikey is a big believer in Plusvital Chillax, to keep young horses focused on the big stage. “I use CHILLAX always as a calmer on some of the younger horses, it keeps their focus that few percent better which makes all the difference in a ring like Lanaken"

• Cathal Daniels remained clear on both days with Tullibards Pandora, qualifying for the 6-year-old final.

BETA International 2025 – Award-Winning Product

Plusvital concluded the month at BETA International, the UK’s premier trade show for the equestrian and country sectors. UK Sales Rep Andrew McSorley engaged with retailers, wholesalers, and importers, while our Bone-Biome supplement received two prestigious awards:

• New Product Showcase – Highly Commended
• Feed, Supplements & Forage Award

Rebecca Watson accepted the awards on behalf of the team. Bone-Biome is already making a real difference in equine nutrition, supporting both bone development and gut health, and has quickly become a favourite among horse owners and professionals.

From winning awards to celebrating successes in competitions and supporting community projects, September was a month that truly showcased Plusvital’s commitment to innovation, performance, and excellence in equestrian care.
