Half of my Heart came home from the first part of Hickstead’s National Championships yesterday, and is as bright as a button. She’s had a busy week, jumping in the 1.40m qualifiers getting a 2nd, before getting 8th in the jump off, of the 1.40/1.50m Sussex Cup on Sunday. It’s been a minimum of 30 degrees heat in the main arena, yet she’s been wonderful, you would just not know what a busy time she’s had. She is fed Metazone Powder daily and had a Metazone Syringe each jumping morning.
“Gnasher is a 10 year old Belgium warmblood who sustained a leg injury back in March. He is now back on top form but also struggles with age related issues with his hocks. Since Gnasher went onto Metazone back in March he’s looking and feeling incredible at his absolute best. I do really think this product works and I recommend it to anyone.”
Our Champion Product is Metazone and we have been using it ever since it was first launched. My daughter thinks it's special as since she has been adding it to his daily feed, her 3\ event horse Tango has not had any issues for the last couple of seasons. They have a great partnership and have gone from BE80 to 3*, and are about to enter their first 4.
We feel that it has definitely made a difference to his way of going, especially supporting his joints and muscles after hard work. All in all, it works for us.
My favourite NAF product is Metazone. We were recommended it by a friend roughly 18 months ago and since starting on it Jeremy has been flying. He is now 17 and whilst he doesn’t have any specific aches or pains, it just keeps him moving nicely and loving his job!
Elton is 20 years old and we tried Metazone for the first time this year before the start of the show season, he can sometimes show signs of stiffness at ‘boot camp’. He was much improved, in fact he was feeling great, showing his moves to our physio and she said that's the best she's seen him coming out of winter! He had a serious tendon injury in his front foot and an injury to his right hind when he was younger that has caused some changes now he's getting older. I feel Metazone has really helped, especially since him and my boyfriend have taken up playing football; yes you can teach an old horse tricks! He's taught Elton to kick the ball so they can pass it back and forth and Elton can dribble the ball over, apparently he's both left and right footed and can fairly boot it! I'm just glad he had the Metazone during training so wasn't on the bench with an injury! His skin is also sensitive to fly bites and sometime these cause a reaction, however this year there has been no new bumps on his neck, the older ones have reduced and I think the itching is less! (He was fed Metazone when the midges started and were bad).
My son Jack has just turned 15 and is loving being on horses even though he has another year left on ponies. Jack has competed at top level on ponies and intends to do the same with his horses. We have been feeding Metazone and we’ve noticed with the slightly older ones that their performance seems to be getting better all the time. Jacks latest achievement with Kimba Classic, the horse that he qualified for the Bronze League class on was a win at the Royal Lancashire agricultural show.
I’ve been feeding Blonde Metazone for the past month, it’s a fantastic product. I've really noticed she comes out more focused and her recovery time is much quicker. Her legs haven't filled at stay away shows and even her coat looks vibrant, with an overall glow.
NAF Metazone is a game changer! All my horses are fed Metazone which I buy in the big bottle. My horse Truman has had 2 years off from being a show jumper to now being a great dressage horse, and my 24 year old horse Badger had joint issues, but Metazone has made him much more comfortable.
“I’ve been feeding my 6yr old Five Star Metazone for a little while now. He’s recently qualified for the National Discovery Final and the Working Hunter Intermediate final at the Royal International Horse Show whilst being fed Metazone. With him being only 6, I like him being on a supplement that helps support him. He’s a very talented little horse and I’m very proud of how well he’s doing on your product”.
“I have been feeding Metazone to 15 year old Wallace to support the anti-inflammatory process after he had therapeutic work done on his stifle. The results have been brilliant, the vets and physio are delighted with his progress and we have been allowed to get back riding. To say I'm delighted is an understatement. Wallace is getting stronger every day. All being well we hope to get into show ring at the end of July. Thanks again for your help and advice, NAF products have been a big part of his recovery.”
“Metazone is amazing - Grace feels so much more supple and happier in her work - more willing and energetic which is really lovely to ride. I am definitely going to keep her on this.”
“Here is Calypso at her first ever Scottish Riding Club Championships. Since adding Metazone to her diet just over a month ago, her seasonal shaking has reduced considerably. I also feed Five Star Optimum, Biotics and Electrolytes.”
“My mare had to come out of work due to an injury; she has since had a couple of foals and I decided to start feeding Metazone around a month ago. She is now happily being ridden again for the first time in six years which is totally amazing. I honestly thought I would have to get a professional to start her off but she’s been so calm, happy and comfortable on Metazone - a great recommendation from Dee Shears at BJ Dance”
“I was advised to feed Metazone as Major struggles with seasonal allergies where we see him become really agitated and have a snotty nose. Last year I tried everything, nothing worked and I felt helpless. I have been feeding Metazone for a month now and he is back to his usual self with no signs, long may it continue.”
“Our Welsh D had a number of irritations that made him generally uncomfortable. Our local NAF Representative recommended trying him on Metazone. Best thing we could have done! He's definitely feeling better and is more active in work. I honestly can't recommend it highly enough. We know it had to be the supplement as absolutely nothing else in his routine changed.”
“Zeus has been on Metazone for several months now. We can’t believe how much better he is coming out of this winter compared to other years; he seems so much more supple and less stressy than usual. At 15 years old, he is definitely loving life now.”
"We have been using Five Star Metazone Liquid for Bertie for a week now and there is a real difference. He was generally a little stiff and is now more free to move and was jogging to start his endurance ride yesterday. We are so pleased with the results and will continue to use it. My sister says it’s given him wings. Bertie is 26 years old and he was like a youngster on Sunday prancing about and trotting at every opportunity. My sister also rode him two days before and every time he hit grass he went straight into canter. We are so glad we tried Metazone, he needed a boost and it did just that!”
We have had a number of our competition horses on Metazone, including an older gelding of 23 and a very special dressage mare of 15 yrs. Both of these horses are beginning to show signs of ageing. We have one of the powder and one on the liquid, both very palatable for them to eat. We have found them to both be more willing to work, both under saddle and in hand. We will continue to use both the liquid and powder as a staple within our supplement as we feel it supports the horses to enjoy a comfortable life.
I love the Metazone product and now have all my horses on it! Impy, my Bramham ride, went amazing and we finished 9th, it was so close at the top. One of my horses won’t eat, but since being on Metazone, not only does he eat all his feeds, but he now doesn’t take 15 minutes to get going when you school him. I have my six horses on Metazone and I really do think it’s extremely beneficial for them, especially as one is 28 years old and still in full work!
My 7yo mare Matilda is recovering from a kissing spine operation and has had intensive rehabilitation since. Although I could see progress it was very steady and Matilda still looked a little weak despite following a strict exercise plan. I started feeding Metazone and although initially I didn’t see any difference by the time I had given the product a few weeks she was really started to muscle up nicely, and look like a nice strong little horse. She seems happier in her work and is moving better than ever, of course some of this will be her strengthening up from her rehab work but I'm convinced that the Metazone has definitely helped us, and I have continued to feed it even after finishing the trial. A great supplement that will help maintain and improve a variety of horses.
I have been feeding Metazone to my 4yo ISH who has recently just been backed and who I hope to event in future. Before feeding it, she was still shedding her winter coat and was getting those annoying bumps on her skin from coat shedding. Since using Metazone her coat has come through and she is completely shining. The bumps on her skin have gone but I'm certain this is due to feeding Metazone.
Since feeding Metazone I have noticed some major differences in my horses, they had quite dull and lifeless looking coats and one of my boy kept getting hives and just general scabby skin, since being on this product it’s stayed away and he’s gone so shiny! My horses also have a tendency to be rather nervous, this is the first time they have not been on a calmer! They have been so level headed recently it’s like I have a new horse!
NAF Metazone has exceeded expectations! My mare has become less stressed and more willing in work, with a difference being very clear in just a few short days of introducing to her feed. She's more comfortable in her way of going too, with me being able to introduce some of the jumps on the farm ride which we're both thoroughly enjoying. It's very palatable for fussy eaters as well, as I found no issues introducing the recommended daily amount to her pre-ride feed.
Although we have only been using Metazone for just over a month, I am confident it’s definitely helping my 11 year old ex-Grade C Showjumper Havanna. I wanted to find something that would help her, as she gets a bit older and help us to continue competing, especially with the challenges that the hard ground presents, not just out competing but at home during turnout!
I’ve been looking for a supplement to make sure Bella 11 is as comfortable as possible alongside her other treatments. She can be quite a fussy eater so I opted for the liquid option and she absolutely loves it, she can’t wait for me to put her feed bowl down! I’ve noticed a real difference in her willingness to canter which is something we’ve really struggled with for a long time and I will definitely be continuing to use Metazone as I'm feeling so much more positive about our future together.
Since feeding Metazone I’ve noticed positive changes in my horse! He’s much more alert and forward when riding as he’s quite lazy usually it’s nice to have him a bit more forward without being silly! I’m really happy with the results I have had from Metazone and will be continuing to feed it to my horses as I feel that the benefits Metazone provides are really important for competition horses!
I must admit I was sceptical to start and I didn't think it made any difference - however now I have run out, it definitely did! She seems better in her hinds. I found the liquid easy to use, my horse can be really fussy (especially in the summer when she is full of grass) but she ate it no problem!
I have owned Diamond for nearly ten years now and unfortunately over the years he has had a few issues. Since being on Metazone, I have noticed improved striding and suppleness when ridden. Metazone is great as both a daily supplement or a short-term boost after a strenuous day and I am impressed that the ingredients are gentle on the horse's gut. I have tended to use the liquid to help aid recovery after periods of intense work or competitions and have found that Diamond is now bouncing back quicker than ever!
Will is a fussy eater but he is finishing all his feed up with Five Star Metazone in it. He isn't as sensitive when being saddled and is moving a lot freer than a few weeks ago. Even the farrier mentioned last week how good his feet are. He looks and feels amazing so I will definitely be keeping him on Metazone!
My mare is a fussy eater and hasn't been bothered by Metazone liquid being in her feed, in fact when I ran out of it for a few days she didn't eat her feed, but is happily eating it again now with Metazone in. I love the smell of it! Ellie is 17 years old and we compete BS showjumping. She had become slightly pottery when I first got on her but since using Metazone she isn't at all and feels supple and free moving from the moment I get on. Her coat looks fantastic and she is definitely feeling well. Metazone has helped her recover quicker after several 3 day shows. I will definitely be continuing with it. photo credit - Showground Photography
I have noticed a difference in my mare since she has been on the Five Star Metazone. She was diagnosed with hip issues December last year. Metazone seems to have made her more comfortable and given her some sass and speed back. I have only been giving her half a scoop as she only has a small feed, but even the half a scoop seems to have made a difference. It also smells really nice and makes all her friends jealous.
