Supporting the competition cycle

As riders prepare for autumn championships, many are asking more from their horses. Training, travelling, competing and recovering all place demands on the body, and 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.

NAF Metazone has been formulated to support horses through the demands of training and competition, helping them stay in the zone. As the season builds towards key events, qualifiers and autumn championships, Metazone offers practical support for horses in regular work.

Why recovery matters

The biological response to exertion is part of the body’s natural process, helping to provide protection and support regeneration. However, when a horse is working hard through training, travel and competition, the demands of that cycle can build.

If a horse is not recovering as expected, training days may be reduced or missed, competition plans can be affected, and the overall rhythm of the season may become harder to maintain. For riders preparing for autumn championships, maintaining routine and consistency can be an important part of keeping their horse on track through the final part of the season.

Why choose NAF Metazone?

Metazone is a nutraceutical designed to support the horse’s own natural anti-inflammatory pathways. It supports key areas including joints, feet, tendons, ligaments, muscles and skin, and helps to maintain comfort without unwanted effects on digestion or the stomach.

Metazone is simple and easy to feed, with the choice of a daily powder or liquid format to suit the horse’s routine. Both formats are made with the same key ingredients, so you can choose the option that works best for your horse. The liquid is available in a 500ml trial size with a money back guarantee, making it an accessible option for those introducing Metazone for the first time. It’s also available in a convenient syringe, allowing direct administration during times of increased need, such as travel or peak competition.

Competition compliant support

One of the key benefits of Metazone is that it is competition compliant and does not require a withdrawal time for national bodies, helping riders plan for qualifiers, championships and multi-day events. As part of NAF’s range, all Metazone formats are also audited under the BETA NOPS scheme as suitable for FEI competition.

A timely autumn championship recommendation

For retailers, Metazone offers a clear and timely conversation around autumn championship preparation. It is an ideal recommendation for customers looking for competition compliant support that fits easily into an existing feeding routine, with different formats available to suit a range of needs through training, travel and competition.
