I run a busy dressage yard in the Waikato. I train riders and horses from all over NZ, from young horses to Grand Prix level, young event horses and show horses. We have used the BetaVet products for many years, with a range of horses, with great success.

It’s nice to be able to pass these products onto our clients, know they work, and watch them having as much success as we have.

 I’ve also really enjoyed dealing with a NZ based company that really understands their products and the ingredients that go into them. BetaVet truly care about the performance and well being of our horses. They are very approachable if our clients or ourselves ever have a problem with a horse, they are there ready to give advice. We have had great success with the BetaVet’s Gastri-Tec. I’ve seen amazing results especially with young TB horses (off the track) and young warmbloods.

Its important to us that all our horses go out in the best condition as possible, mentally and physically. For that reason, all our horses that go to the shows are put on Gastri-Tec a few days before the show to eliminate as much travel and/or new environment stress as possible.

This also ensures they eat and are relaxed as soon as they get to the show. In the past we have had some horses that are more prone to worrying, if they have this type of temperament we put them on BuildaGut for daily maintenance. We have have found them to be more settled and hold their weight better. 

Most of our competitions are run over 2-7 days. To win championship title, you have to compete at a high level in 4 tests, it’s important that they are at peak performance the whole show. We have benefited hugely from using the Electrolift at shows and after hard training sessions.

 This year, with one of our young higher-level horses we have started using the Super Boost Paste after the first couple of tests so he keeps his energy and movement for all his tests. This horse went onto win the Fibre Fresh Level 5 series, was 2nd in the Zilco level 5 series and won the Senior ll at the World Challenge. Its important to me that our horses are happy and feel there best at all times and thanks to BetaVet and there team they make this possible.

I’m Sam Morrison, 23 year old show jumping rider from New Zealand.

I have been focusing on showjumping for the last 5 years and keeping my team of horses healthy and feeling their best is crucial. Since starting my horses on the BetaVet products they have never felt better! My favourite BetaVet products are:

Protect – For joint health to help with recovery, to help protect tissue from exercise damage, injury and maintain soundness.

Prepare – To help the horses feel their best and maintain condition through all the training, travelling and competing.

BuildaGut – A natural mineral supplement and gut buffer to help with their overall digestion and gut health.

Using these products I have been successfully competing my top horse Biarritz and each year he just feels better and better! For the last 3 years I have competed in the New Zealand World Cup Series on Biarritz finishing in the overall series 4th, 3rd and 2nd. The rest of my team have gone from strength to strength and have developed into lovely young horses who feel and look great!

Using the BetaVet products has enhanced all my horses performance, overall wellbeing and has helped develop and maintain the athleticism needed for top competition.

I am excited for the future with my team.

Where my horses go – BetaVet goes with them.

BetaVet gives my stable of showjumping horses the winning edge. Their range of products keep my team looking and feeling superb, and allow me to effectively manage horse energy levels in both training and competition.

BetaVet Prepare is my personal favourite BetaVet product, as it has provided my team with significant improvement in both energy and overall wellbeing. As my horses are in top health when they are on Prepare, they perform at their best and have also become less prone to picking up viruses or sickness when away competing.

I use Protect for recovery and general joint maintenance, particularly for horses in my team that are jumping in the bigger grades. There is a lot of stress and impact on the leg and back joints of a horse when it jumps a fence, especially in the Grand Prix / World Cup heights. Protect is formulated to repair and provide optimal health for skeletal and connective tissue, and I rely on this product for my top horses throughout the jumping season.

Ginzinga and Super Boost are two products that are perfect for getting the most out of my team on the last day of competition. They improve the energy and freshness of the horse, and are a must have for competitions.

BetaVet simply has the best natural solutions to give my horses the edge in competition, and keep them in top health.

BetaVet products have allowed me to progress from the pony rings to now jumping successfully at World Cup level. My team of horses, ranging from youngsters to Grand Prix/World Cup level, have all benefited from BetaVet’s extensive range.

My favourite, most used supplement being BetaVet’s Prepare – this has been the perfect base for all of my horses leading up to and during the competition
season. It has been our go to aid, especially with the younger, more nervous horses, for countering stress in and out of the show ring.

During changing seasons, it is important to monitor our horses wellness at all times. With the consistent use of BetaVet’s Echinacea, I have seen my team’s
general wellbeing and fitness to have been of a much higher standard. I very rarely have to deal with any colds/coughs in the stable, which, in a New Zealand
winter, is no mean feat. For a more specific approach to the prevention and treatment of a cold, we always keep Equi-Coff handy.

BetaVet’s large variety of products also caters for my horses of more specific needs in their way of going. My main horse, Fiber Fresh Veroana can’t go without
Steady Steed before his first couple of rounds each show to relax his nerves and improve his concentration in the warm up and in the ring. This product has also come in good use when training and competing the younger horses who are the more nervous/energetic types.

As a whole, BetaVet products have made a remarkable difference in the fitness and results of my team from day 1. My most notable successes being:

2013 Pony of the Year

2014-2015 Winner of the NZ Young Rider Series

2014-2015 Winner of the NZ Pony Grand Prix Series

2016 7 Year Old Horse of the Year

2017 Winner of the North Island 1.40-1.60m Premier League Championship

2018 Winner of the Dannevirke FEI World Cup

Winner of the 2018 Olympic Cup at Horse of the Year

2017-2018 Winner of the 1.40m-1.60m Premier League Series

I am a World Cup Show Jumping rider based in Karaka, New Zealand. BetaVet has been an integral part of my team of youngsters and top competition horses behind the scenes for a number of years. The BetaVet products have helped us along the way to many wins and placings in World Cups and Grand Prixs, as well as the 2017 Horse of the Year Olympic Cup title.

With such a diverse team of horses as well as a number of clients horses under my jurisdiction, BetaVets extensive range of equine supplements has been second to none, providing for all our needs.  All of the horses get a preventative dose of Echinacea Premier as we cant afford to have any viruses, which are easily picked up at big shows with hundreds of horses in close proximity. Gastri-Tec and Steady Steed keep the hot and anxious horses relaxed and rideable, while the Prepare and Ginzinga keep the more laid back horses on the job.

Along with our regularly used products, the Super Boost and Electrolift pastes are a must have in our tack trunk. Jumping in the big tour classes such as those in Australia, can be tough on horses, especially with the concentration and physical exertion required to jump 1.60m. The horses need to feel refreshed and ready to go, even after a few days of tough competition.

I am a 3* Event rider based in the Waikato, New Zealand. I have been involved with the BetaVet range for the past five years, during which time I have had a large variety of horses. I pride myself on the wellbeing of my horses – what goes inside, shines on the outside.

During my time using the BetaVet products my team have gone from strength to strength. Their large range means there is a product for every type of horse. Just like humans, horses are all different and require different products to keep them at the top of their game.

Being an event rider means our season spans over a long period of time. Many riders find their horses peak at the wrong time and struggle to last the distance. We don’t have this issue. My entire team live on BetaVet Prepare – this helps them to maintain consistency throughout the season. The use of products such as Echinacea Premier also protects our horses from the typical colds and bugs which tend to get horses down after major events such as the Horse of the Year Show.

My most regularly used products throughout events are the Electrolift, Super Boost and Steady Steed. Typically event horses are very fit, preparing months in advance for our targeted Three Day Events. During these events we need to keep the horses calm and relaxed during the Dressage phase – we don’t want to work them too hard as the next day they are required to use maximum energy so we are trying to preserve what’s in the tank. There for we give Steady Steed the night before and morning of Dressage day. After Cross Country and the night before Show Jumping, we often give them an Electrolift paste and a Super Boost paste – this helps to reboot the system and give them the energy they need to perform at their best on the final day of competition.

On the whole, BetaVet products have made a significant positive impact to my team. Since being on the BetaVet team we have won:

x1 National Junior Rider Championships

x3 National Young Rider Championships

x5 Best Presented Awards

The accolades speak for themselves. BetaVet is the best on the market – I wouldn’t trust anything else! Never compromise on what’s best for your team.

Where my horses go – BetaVet goes with them. 

I’m a 21 Year old farrier working in Kaikoura. I mainly focus on show jumping through out the season. I have been using the BetaVet range of products on my horses for the last six years, and for the last two years been lucky enough to be on the team as sponsored rider.

Living in Kaikoura my horses travel very long distances. Most weekends (for eight months of the year) we are travelling to shows. To stay on top form through the show jumping season they get BetaVet Prepare, which helps keep them looking and feeling great inside and out, all season long. BetaVet Protect is another go-to product that I use all season. It helps to repair and keep my horses joints/ligaments flexible and healthy.

Another product in my range is BetaVet Echinacea Premier. I start them on Echinacea Premier before competitions, where they are stabled away from home for extended periods of time like Horse of the Year. It helps as a prevention against colds or allergies.

Gastri-Tec is a great product which I now use on my brothers horse. It helps with his stomach due to him wind sucking (when yarded).  He is also a big user of Super Boost the night after a hard day, in preparation for next day. Also BetaVet Electrolift is a great pickup after long day competing.

My horses always look healthy and feel happy throughout the season, away competing at shows or back home in the paddock on the BetaVet range of products. I take pride in my horses turnout.

At the end of my season my horses are turned out on fill pasture for few months. By using the BetaVet Range I can 100% say they come back in, healthier and return back into work quicker.

The BetaVet range of products is a staple in my tack shed and recommend it to all horse owners regardless of the discipline and work load.

BetaVet gives my stable of showjumping horses the winning edge. Their range of products keep my team looking and feeling superb, and allow me to effectively manage horse energy levels in both training and competition.

We are Grand Prix/Young Rider Show Jumpers based in Dannevirke, New Zealand.  We have a large team of horses, and have been using a variety of BetaVet products for the past 3 seasons. Our team consists mostly of younger horses moving through the age group classes. We also have a number of homebreed youngsters on the hills waiting to join our team. The animal health management of our horses is a top priority to us as this ultimately determines the horses performance, especially with the younger horses.

Over the past seasons using the BetaVet products our team of horses have all looked good, and performed well.  

Our entire show jumping team live on BetaVet Prepare. Prepare is like a super tonic for horses and we wouldn’t be without it.  It helps our horses to train and perform consistently, helps with muscle recovery, and their coats always look amazing. It is also a must for horses that are prone to tieing up.

We use several other products to help improve each one of our horses.

Most weekends we are travelling to and from shows and training at high levels throughout the week. This puts a lot of stress on our horses, especially the younger ones. We have found the use of BuildaGut helps to keep our horses guts settled, reducing risk of ulcers developing within the stomach. Happy tummy….Happy horse.

We give Protect to our horses jumping the bigger heights This product helps maintain healthy joints and recovery of muscles after serious exercise.

If a horse has a big class at the end of a longer show, or a horse is feeling a little flat, a Super Boost energiser gives them that little get up go needed to maintain a competitive edge.

We also have in the stable, Electrolift, which we use when we travel long distances. Echinacea  and Equi-Coff is always on hand for a horse showing cold symptoms .

Since using these products we have had success in the Age Group Classes and Horses jumping at the higher heights.

2017/18 National Young Horse Show:

National 5Yr Old Winner

Top Performing 8 yr Old Winner

National 5yr Old series Winner
