As you prepare for end-of-season championships, qualifiers and other key events, you might find yourself asking more from your horse. Training, travelling, competing and recovering all place demands on the body, but for competition horses, the challenge is not only performing on the day – it is being able to manage the full competition cycle. Train, compete, recover and repeat.
The body’s biological response to exertion is a natural process that helps to provide protection and support regeneration. When a horse is working hard, however – training, traveling and competing – the demands of that cycle can build.
If your horse doesn’t recover as expected, plans for training and competition can be affected, and the overall rhythm of the season may become harder to maintain. For many partnerships, maintaining routine and consistency is an important part of keeping on track through the final part of the season.
NAF Metazone has been formulated to support horses through the demands of training and competition, offering support as the season builds.
What is NAF Metazone?
Metazone is a supplement designed to support your horse’s natural anti-inflammatory responses throughout the body, explains NAF’s head nutritionist Kate Hore.
“It supports key areas, including joints, feet, tendons, ligaments, muscles and skin, and helps to maintain comfort without compromising gut health.”
NAF Metazone is competition compliant, does not require a withdrawal time, and is audited under the BETA NOPS scheme as suitable for FEI competition.
Metazone is used by top riders, including Laura Collett, who feeds it to London 52.
“I use Metazone because it’s really important to me that my horses have a good recovery,” says Laura. “It’s particularly important for event horses to get a good recovery after cross-country to be able to come out and jump fresh the next day.”
How to feed NAF Metazone
“Metazone is simple and easy to feed, with the choice of a daily powder or liquid format,” says Kate. “Both formats are made with the same key ingredients, so you can choose the option that works best for your horse.
“It’s also available in a convenient syringe, allowing direct administration during times of increased need, such as travel or peak competition.”
The liquid is available in a 500ml trial size with a money back guarantee, making it an accessible option if you want to try Metazone for the first time.
