Royal Champion was originally developed to support the health, strength, and longevity of horses in the Royal Stables.
Formulated with science, experience, and an unwavering standard of excellence - these supplements were created for the very best and are now available for your horses.
OUR STORY
The story began in 1974 in England, when Dr. Trevor M. Cook, Royal Nutritionist to Queen Elizabeth II, developed the original Royal Champion formulas. His work combined scientific research with a deep understanding of the nutritional needs of performance horses.
For more than sixteen years, these formulations were used exclusively by the Royal Family and a select group of trainers and breeders within the British equestrian community.
From the beginning, Royal Champion has been founded on a simple principle: providing horses with exceptional nutritional support to promote health, strength, recovery, and performance.
Dr. Trevor M. Cook, PhD (London), MS (London), BS (Hons), FRSC, HMD, was the Founder and Consultant of Royal Champion, a research scientist, nutritionist, horse owner, and breeder.
Dr. Cook began his career as a research chemist, gaining international recognition for discovering the synthesis of Hydrosaluric, a major diuretic still prescribed by physicians worldwide.
He later became CEO of Thomas Pettifer, a long-established British equine supplement and supply company. During this time, he developed the innovative equine nutritional formulations that would
become Royal Champion.
Dr. Cook fulfilled the duties of the Royal Warrant, supplying nutritional support for the Queen’s horses in training under renowned trainer Richard Hern at West Ilsley, as well as horses at the Royal Stud at Hampton Court Palace and the National Stud.
As a racehorse owner and breeder himself, Dr. Cook worked closely with leading trainers and breeders worldwide. Horses supported by his nutritional programs have gone on to win major international races and Olympic medals.
Horses have been a central part of my life since an early age.
Growing up in Denmark, I developed a deep connection with horses through hands-on care and a well-rounded background in horsemanship that now spans more than forty years.
From working around mares, stallions, and foals to training, trail riding, and competing in dressage, horses have shaped my life and taught me dedication, patience, and respect.
I have had the privilege of competing at a high level in dressage, an experience that deepened my appreciation for the partnership between horse and rider and the importance of supporting horses so they can perform at their very best.
I came to know the Royal Champion formulas originally developed by Dr. Trevor M. Cook, and their philosophy immediately resonated with me and the way I believe horses should be cared for.
Today, we are proud to continue the Royal Champion legacy and share these trusted formulations with riders, trainers, and horse owners who want the very best for their horses.
We believe that whether a horse competes at the highest levels of sport or carries a rider down a quiet trail, every horse deserves exceptional care and nutrition.
