Thank you for visiting our website which is dedicated to you and your horse and designed to give you an understanding of how we can help you improve your horses' diet, performance, health and wellbeing with our range of nutritional advanced formulas, supplements, topical applications and care products.
Over thirty years ago we launched the first nutraceutical for horses into the UK market, and we have continued to lead the way in developing effective products ever since. Using proven ingredients found in nature and creating unique effective formulations, we pride ourselves on our unparalleled commitment to quality and clean sport. We have a dedicated team focused on not just meeting industry expectations, but exceeding them - see the buttons below for further information.
We use the best natural ingredients, which are fully traceable and are combined to create unique formulas by our team of veterinarian scientists and nutritionists. Our products are designed under the direction of vet Dr Andy Richardson, BVSc CertAVP(ESM) MRCVS, registered nutritionist, Kate Hore RNutr(Animal) and chemists, including specialised formulation chemist Dr Matt Hayward. The result is an extensive range of effective products from joints, breathing, hooves, digestion, gut health and calming supplements to silky mane and tail detanglers, super shampoos and luxury leather care, all of which are designed to offer you something for your horse's every need.
Indeed, whilst we are incredibly proud of the fact that we are the only official supplier of supplements and care products to the British Equestrian Teams and to the high profile riders around the world who feed our products and their competitive success, we are equally proud of how our products have helped you and your horses. We strongly believe that from cute Shetland ponies to magnificent Shires, from leisure horses who are part of the family, to gold medal winning performance horses, every horse deserves Five Star Treatment.
Our reviews are a real testament to that, so please do enjoy reading the stories of how our products have helped horses, and if you would like to be featured on Facebook as part of #NAFSPOTLIGHT please click below and if you need any advice on any of our products or indeed any nutritional issues, please do contact us either below or on our free advice line.
We are a UFAS (Universal Feed Assurance Scheme) accredited company, enabling us to guarantee full traceability on all the natural ingredients we utilise in our formulations, which are selected in compliance with the FEI guidelines for Clean Sport. In addition we adhere to the requirements of the BETA NOPS code which sets the standard for the control of Naturally Occurring Prohibited Substances.
We are 100% committed not only to meeting, but surpassing the high expectations of these associations. Our chemists monitor all formulations from pilot batches through to finished product, and fully documented HACCP control procedures throughout the process ensure a consistently safe product with full traceability. All products are sold in tamper evident pots. When it comes to quality, we always go the extra mile and are proud that no NAF product has ever led to a positive dope test.
With testing becoming increasingly extensive and advanced across all disciplines, NAF, proud of their Clean Sport heritage and trusted by riders worldwide, are leading the way by taking Clean Sport seriously.
Clean Sport is a term used to describe the rules and regulations that work together to uphold and maintain a fair and consistent sport across the disciplines.
Anyone who is a member of an equestrian sporting discipline and is eligible for participation can expect their horse(s) to be tested.This includes equestrian sports and member bodies such as BD, BE, BS, Para Equestrian Dressage, Driving, Endurance, Reining, Vaulting and British Riding Clubs.
Kate Hore, Registered Nutritionist, Member of the BETA Feed Committee and Senior Nutritionist at NAF explains why NAF are proud to have strong partnerships with equestrian sporting bodies and why Clean Sport must be taken seriously.
"NAF have always been very proud of their quality control methods, and being one of the first companies to comply with the BETA NOPS Scheme, we have since become registered as a GMP+ company. This is a huge accolade and we take it very seriously. As we take such rigorous quality control and assurance methods to uphold Clean Sport policy, we felt it necessary to raise awareness of Clean Sport and the importance of it to fulfil our role as Official Suppliers to the British Equestrian Teams, and loyal supporters of Equestrian Sport."
Sarah Armstrong, Head of Performance Operations at the British Equestrian Federation comments;
"With so many different feeds and supplements available it is important to know, and to keep a record of, exactly what you are using. NAF continuously promote the values of Clean Sport and have now launched the 'Feed and Supplements Log Book'. Allowing riders to record all feed and supplements to ensure full traceability and peace of mind, a log book is an essential item for every rider."
Designed for you to log your feeds and supplements and to accompany your horse on their journeys, the Feed and Supplements Log Book ensures each batch number can be carefully recorded so that you can be confident you have full traceability should you be tested. Confident that each and every purchase you make is with a reputable company, confident that you are looking out for the right accreditations and confident that your sport's integrity is upheld.
NAF’s Feed and Supplements Log Book is provided FREE to members of disciplines such as BD, BE, BS and British Riding Clubs. To receive your FREE copy or to discuss your horse's Nutritional Requirements, please call NAF on 0800 373106 or email info@naf-uk.com

We are a member of the GMP+ Feed Certification Scheme which does not only define conditions relating to production facilities of feed, but also for storage, transport, staff, procedures and documentation.
This is an internationally recognised scheme which tells you that participating companies guarantee reliability, quality, sustainability and safety. That means that we meet all local and international statutory standards in the feed industry.
Since we started making supplements for horses over thirty years ago, the way we manage our pets' diets has changed dramatically.
As pet owners ourselves, we recognised many horse owners also had cats and dogs at home who needed our help and so Natural VetCare was born.
In the same way that you have come to expect NAF to provide a Five Star product for your horse, Natural VetCare offers Five Star supplements and topical products for your cat and dog.
As with the NAF range, Natural VetCare products are designed by our team of vets and nutritionists and manufactured in our ISO 9001, GMP+, UFAS and BETA NOPS accredited factory in Monmouthshire.
We check that our products are super tasty and easy for you to use and we use only the best natural ingredients, blended into uniquely balanced formulae that you won't find anywhere else. Each ingredient is chosen for its purity and efficacy to assist with skin, joint and senior health issues in dogs and cats.
We're passionate about pets and our dedicated team are happy to help, so if you have a question about the Natural VetCare range or your pet's health, please contact our helpline on 0800 1585 332. For more information on Natural VetCare, please visit www.naturalvetcare.co.uk
