Magic is a natural calmer with a difference. Exclusively trialled and proven, it's a five star formula that contains a unique combination of herbs and bio-available magnesium known to help maintain calm, support concentration and learning. Magnesium is an essential nutrient to a horse's wellbeing, and among its many roles is the regulation of nervous tension and relaxed muscles, however Magic is more than just magnesium. This award winning formulation* also contains a unique blend of herbs which when fed in the right combination with magnesium give repeatable, reliable results in reactive horses. This unique synergistic blend has been independently trialled, with peer-reviewed, published results showing a reduction in inappropriate responses, and an improvement in the horse's cognitive profile, crucially, with no sedation.

Note: NAF are pleased to confirm that the magnesium used in Magic does not contravene FEI rules and is safe for use in all horses.

“My favourite NAF product is Magic, I have a really hot warmblood called George and it helps to take the edge off him.”
“I have been given the honour of teaching the legendary racehorse Frodon that there’s still fun to be had off the track. Frodon was known in training to be a “bit of a lad”! I TOTALLY understand this now, he really is a monkey and this didn’t help when teaching him some form of flatwork. Having heard about NAF Five Star Magic and the success it has provided so many I thought I’d give it a go. What a different horse I have, he can now focus and concentrate on the task In hand instead of being the class clown. I am now more confident that we could make it to Bath and West show!”
“My mare used to get very uncomfortable while in season and she would become stressy in her stable. We tried her on NAF Five Star Oestress and it worked so quickly, she was like a new pony, very content and happy. We also use NAF Five Star Magic calmer on a maintenance dose in winter because she can get a bit fiery. It gives my mum peace of mind and allows me to hack on my own because Layla used to be a very anxious pony. Thank you NAF!”
“Rocky is a 12 year old Anglo European Sports Horse who in recent years has turned his hoof to British Dressage having previously evented. He can find competitions quite exciting, so we use NAF Five Star Magic Powder to help him keep his concentration levels without affecting his performance. Magic also promotes muscle relaxation helping him feel more supple and attentive in ridden work. Having qualified for the Nationals on two occasions, Rocky is now successfully competing at Medium with the aim to do his first Advanced Medium by the Summer - we wouldn’t be where we are today without the help of Magic!” Photo credit Brian Molcher Photos
"I just wanted to show my appreciation for NAF Five Star Magic. I?ve tried to take my horse off of it twice now to see what difference it made and it?s safe to say I will never try taking him off of it again. To find a calmer that doesn?t take energy away but improves focus and ?tunnel vision? is almost impossible! Fergus is quite spooky, however, when he is on Magic the difference is insane! He is so focused on his work. It is so important for me to keep him calm and stress free. I use all of your products for his supplements and they are second to none. Thank you for creating such fantastic products!"
Since putting Boss on NAF’s Five Star Magic, he has become a completely different horse! Before, he was a very tense and spooky horse in hand and under saddle. Now he is more willing to work, calmer in hand and under saddle, more confident in trying new things and going to new places and is more settled whilst turned out! Couldn’t recommend this product enough!
"Magic! Literally says what it is on the label. Boris went from being strong and excitable to the calmest horse ever. It hasn't taken away his personality at all but it has made him much more relaxed and a more enjoyable horse to ride."
"All I can say is WOW.... I've had my beautiful Welsh D on Magic for a month. I hadn't ridden her since the end of April due to work commitments and the constant battle of her spooking and separation anxiety - what totally different pony. Thank you!"
"At BD Area Festival we finished 3rd in Prelim Silver, was over the moon, during training sessions at the competition venue she was difficult. At Hopes first ever SJ comp with the help from Magic, we finished on DC & 3rd Magic helps her anxiety levels when out."
"My yearling Hugo loves this supplement. He has super strong hooves and is growing and maturing nicely. It’s good to know that he is getting all the nutrition he needs to grow into a happy healthy horse."
"I just wanted to say how amazing your Magic is! Ollie isn’t strong but he gets so anxious and frightened. Since using Magic, he is much more relaxed and now enjoys himself. We took Ollie off Magic momentarily and his anxiety came back because he was scared and overthinking everything. Therefore, we know that your product is the reason for him performing much better and now that he is back on it, he is so much happier. It’s crazy how much of a difference it has made, he truly is like a new horse! So thank you very much for your amazing product, I would 100% recommend it to everyone."
"Magic has helped my ride Gabby (owned by Drewlor Equine) focus, relax and excel in the arena. Like many horses, show days are very exciting for her, but her anxiety and spooky tendencies can sometimes creep in whilst in the arena. Since using Magic, show days have become a breeze for her. No spookiness, no anxiety, no tension, just a super talented mare loving every minute of being in the arena. I could not recommend it enough for any green, sharp or spooky horses that just need that anxious edge taking off and a helping hand relaxing into their work."
"We have owned Cathedine Professor since a year old and he can be a very sensitive soul. We tried many calming supplements and now we use Magic and the results are amazing. He is so much more relaxed & confident."
Magic has made a HUGE difference to Griffin’s mental state, he’s definitely a lot calmer now! We’ve hit the 90cm milestone, which considering a few weeks ago we were only able to lunge due to his behaviour, is amazing. I’m so proud of him.
"Chance is a highly intelligent mare and was enjoying a variety of activities from schooling, to jumping and hacking. During lockdown, we were only able to hack out locally and this left Chance feeling frustrated and tense. With the help of Magic, the tension has been relieved without her personality being hindered. I cannot recommend this product enough."
“We use NAF Five Star Magic when breaking and schooling the youngsters because we find it keeps the mind focused on learning.”
"Thank you for your brilliant product, Instant Magic. Having recently purchased a lovely young sports horse, I was looking forward to training and competing her, hopefully working toward a high level, however she had some other plans. The mare became worse and worse travelling, becoming increasingly stressed to the point at which she was a danger to us and herself. We were on the verge of deciding not to take her out, which would have been devastating given her potential. We decided as a last ditch effort to try your calmer, and it worked wonders. She was much calmer on the box, eating and not sweating up, and still a dream under saddle. We couldn’t be more pleased. This week we took her to her second ever xc schooling, and for a flat lesson with Olympic rider Andrew Bennie. The trips were finally made relaxing and enjoyable thanks to your product. We are thrilled that we will be able to take her out and have booked her first events. Hopefully if she continues like she is we will be doing internationals by the end of next season. This winter we plan on working up to jumping some fox hunters. As a non professional with only a couple of horses it would have been awful to have such an amazing horse that we couldn’t travel. Thanks so much for helping, and giving us the opportunity to show how good we can be. Many thanks, Alfie."
"Bear With Rupert is a 13 year old ex racehorse who has turned his hoof to showing and dressage. Recently since coming back in to work 6 weeks ago after a year off he had been extremely sensitive and quite spooky. After having a chat with Katie at Oakfield’s Open Day, I purchased and tried him on the NAF Magic powdered calmer and Instant Magic Syringes to use as a top up for his show. WOW is all I can say! He has gone from strength to strength and remains focused on the job at hand. This weekend he competed at his first show in over a year and at a Supreme Showdown, he managed to stay cool, calm and collected to win his four classes, 3 section championships and in hand supreme of day 1. I honestly don't believe we would have been able to get the results if it hadn't been for the NAF Magic and the additional NAF Instant Magic. What an amazing product. These will be definitely be having a place in my feed room and stored in my wagon! 5 star review!!"
"My boy has been on NAF Magic for over 10 years now and it has been the only thing that has been able to keep him sane especially during the spring when his hormones are wild (due to being a rig) it has been a godsend!"
"We have been using NAF Magic products for over 5 years now. We find that using Magic is extremely useful for nervy or spooky horses, as it helps to relax them without altering their personality. With our competition horses, we find that we are able to keep their energy levels high but also maintain full concentration, which allows our horses to perform at the best level possible at all times."
"My horse Harvey, who is a large breed hackney, has a very nervous disposition suffering from separation anxiety, spookiness and is also very sensitive. He was very frightened of other animals especially cows and sheep and would not settle in his stable when brought up from the field away from his friends. Naf recommended trying him on the Magic supplement, confident that it would help. I started to see results very quickly even during the loading dose period and still very pleased with the continued use of this product.
It has helped Harvey to cope much better with so many different situations we have previously struggled with. Hacking out by ourselves wasn’t an enjoyable experience due to him always looking for the next thing to spook at, this could lead him to spinning round and he had actually bolted off with me on a couple of occasions. Since using Magic, although still a little spooky, it does not result in the sheer panic that he used to have and then the wanting to rush back home. Travelling in the trailer he would not just sweat but foam up and literally have a river pouring underneath him, now he still sweats but again nowhere near to the extreme. If a horse was brought in from the field next to him, even though other horses were still nearby, he would gallop around the field neighing. Now he will walk up to the gate to see the passing horse but then continue with his grazing. It’s also so nice to be able to enjoy our time together especially when grooming.
This product has helped Harvey to focus and settle so that we have been able to progress with our training and bonding, we still have a way to go but this has played a major part into getting us where we are with our relationship today. I will definitely recommend this product for anyone else facing similar issues."
"GastriAid has made my horse maintain comfort and we haven’t seen any reoccurrence of the gastric discomfort he had previously had. Magic has focused my horse and he seems a lot calmer not kicking out at other horses or rearing under saddle, fantastic product!"
"Just wanted to say that as a relatively new return to rider (at 57) I bought my horse 3 years ago. He's 23 years old and can be very spooky. It scared me, and I found lots of reasons not to ride. I decided to try a calmer and chose Magic for him. Since he has been on it, we go out hacking twice a week weather permitting, and have lots of fun. We have both benefitted from the calmer, me definitely knowing he is calmer makes me calmer which equals a good calm ride. Thank you and I promote your calmer to anyone and everyone."
"I have just started my 2nd tub of NAF Five Star Magic as I was delighted with the results. My horse Monty has done 2 shows since starting the calmer that I won and definitely was much more settled and focused on the job in hand, gaining his qualifying scores for the winter finals in April in medium level. I'm so looking forward to that and we also compete in para dressage at grade V so really important he is settled and calm."
"Magic has been a complete game changer for us! Valentino is quite well known for being a little over enthusiastic about his jumping, and generally just a stressy little man. Since he has been on Magic, he seems to have a whole new outlook on life! It’s almost as though Magic is a 'horsey anti-depressant' for him - he seems to be so much happier in himself and he finally seems to be able to enjoy life, it's such a lovely feeling to see him happy! To top it off, he's so much more rideable - bring on the eventing season!"
"After receiving the Five star Magic I had a lesson with Glenys Hemming... see pic.
The weekend after my lesson Val was second with an amazing score of 73.75 % out of 45 other horses at the BRC Intermediate Area qualifiers! Qualifying for the National Championships! So next weekend Val and Myself are heading to Bury Farm EC in Buckinghamshire for the champs!
For a 'dangerous' horse who 'should be dead' this is something of an amazing story! Thank you so much for the prize!"
"I've had Tiz a year now and when I first got him he used to sweat up and get anxious every time we loaded him in the lorry. That didn't give my instructors or other people a good impression since Tiz has not long been out of point-to-point racing. After doing research, it came to my knowledge that the magnesium in NAF's Magic could help with Tiz's problems. Since then I have fed it to him twice a day and since the start he hasn't sweated up in the lorry and can now stand tied up to the lorry at an event half asleep. I've fed both the liquid and the powder and even for a fussy eater like Tiz he hasn't ever failed to eat it. I 100% recommend this product to anyone that feels like they need to get rid of their horses anxiety to unlock their full potential."
"Here is a picture of Ruby enjoying the sunshine. I am so happy with her after putting her on the NAF Five Star Magic calmer. Although she is not a 'hot' horse, she can be a worrier but since she has been on Magic she’s put on so much condition and generally seems much more content. Again, thank you for a great product!"
"We used Magic on my daughters first ridden show pony, who can be anxious and highly strung... the results were fantastic. He was so soft and responsive after using this product, I’ll definitely be using it again. Thanks so much!"
"The NAF Five Star Magic Calmer has changed my life. When taking my horse to events he would get so wound up and excited that I would struggle to control him and get round a course. However, since using Magic he concentrates on what we are doing and is much more controllable. A calmer I would recommend to anyone!"
It's very difficult to choose my favourite NAF product but I would have to say 'Magic'. I feed it to my event horses Watergate Bay and Star Fighter. Watergate Bay is an ex-racehorse and I find the Magic powder really helps with his concentration and focus both at home and out at competitions. I can certainly tell when he has not had it for a while.
