BetaVet provides the ultimate in complementary equine healthcare to help maximise performance in competitive sport horses and give peace of mind to the owners.

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.

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. 

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.

In terms of the health, soundness and performance of my team of jumping horses and young stock, BetaVet has been a key component in my programme for more than ten years.

BetaVet supplements Prepare, Protect & BuildaGut are used daily for our team, with Echinacea Premier to support immune systems and aid in the prevention of illness and BetaVet Super Boost, Ginzinga, Steady Steed and Electrolift used to meet the individual demands of horses in training sessions, travel and competition. 

BetaVet Prepare has been a mainstay for all our horses in work, facilitating lean muscle mass and peak condition, in addition to aiding in rapid recovery after training and competition. We have also found Prepare to be a vital part of the prevention of tie up and essential to horses with this tendency.

With the physical demands of our competition horses high, and shows almost every weekend during the competition season, we have found that our horses need to have the very best in nutrition and supplements, right from the beginning. BetaVet delivers us what I believe to be the best products in the Industry, made from the highest quality ingredients. Giving us real results that we can see and feel in our horses and that we can enjoy in our successes… we just wouldn’t be without them!

I’m a showjumping rider from Karaka, Auckland. My competitive show jumping team consists of Fernhill Zin Zan (Timmy), Puma des Hayettes (Puma), Astek Vendetta (Rocco) and Light up the Sky (Sass). Timmy is my main competition horse as we imported him from Australia. As soon as Timmy arrived into NZ we put him on a daily dose of 20mls of BetaVet Prepare and Echinacea Premier to help fight any bugs he may have picked up from travelling. At just my 2nd show ever on Timmy, in the 2 months that he’d been in the country we won the Junior Rider Tour at the Takapoto Estate International show. I believe that the use of BetaVet products from the moment he arrived in NZ helped me achieve this.

The health and well-being of all my horses is one of the most important aspects of successful showjumping to me. By using BetaVet products during the season and during the winter I believe that my horses feel and look great throughout all months of the year.

BetaVet Prepare is my favourite product because of the many elements it covers, from inner health to maximising the shine and health in their coat. All three of my horses are on at least 20mls of Prepare daily. As well as having my showjumping horses, my family breed, sell and race Thoroughbreds. BuildaBone is given to our young stock to increase the development and strengthening of their bones at an early age. This is to ensure that their start in growth benefits their performance as racehorses. Our young stock are also put on Gastri-Tec to maximise their gut health at a young age.

I have been a sponsored rider of BetaVet for the past two seasons. It is clear to me that the use of their products has helped with the overall success of my showjumping recently. BetaVet Cool N Tite has helped with the recovery of my horses muscles and joints after competition and travel. The product successfully reduces heat and swelling in their legs after they have jumped, or been standing in the truck for hours at a time. I also love to use Cool N Tite to massage my horses muscles as a treat to show my appreciation for them and what they do for me. BetaVet Echinacea Premier is another one of my favourite products as it contributes to keeping my horses from the suffering of allergies, colds or viruses. Due to the fact that horses travel from show to show and stay in all types of used stables, I feel that Echinacea is crucial to help protect them from viruses that may spread through show grounds.

In conclusion, BetaVet products are the best on the market. One of the biggest pull factors of BetaVet for me is the fact that the products are herbal. I love the fact that I don’t have to put harsh chemicals into my horses in order for them to perform well. I just use BetaVet!

I am a 15 year old show jumper from Nelson. I have a great passion for Show Jumping, I love the challenge mentally and physically. Whether I’m training or in the ring, I love that the challenges and rewards never go away.

All my horses excel on BetaVet products, they help me to succeed. I have been using BetaVet products for many years now. I have experienced a change in my horses behaviour and a lift in performance.

My favourite BetaVet product is Echinacea Premier. It has not only stopped an allergy for one of my ponies, but it also ensures my team will never miss a day. I have never been so impressed with a product, as I am with Echinacea Premier.

Other products that are always in my truck and feed room are BetaVet Prepare. I use Prepare with all my horses because it keeps them in peak condition. Super Boost, Electrolift, Steady Steed and Cool n Tite are all products I use at shows to get optimal performance.

I love BetaVet products because they work! I have seen positive changes in all my horses from a wide range of BetaVet products. My team would not be able to travel the country from show to show and still perform without BetaVet products.

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.

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 4Yr Old Winner
• National 5Yr Old Winner
• Top Performing 8 yr Old Winner
• National 5yr Old series Winner
• Winner of Wairarapa Premier GP (to name a few).

We look forward to similar successes next season relying on BetaVet’s great products!

We run a showjumping stable in Sydney, Australia, travelling and competing with a team of horses from 5yo to Grand Prix level. We have been part of the BetaVet team for a year and their products have become an essential part of our horse management and care regime.

We were amazed at our young horses immediate reaction to BetaVet Prepare. Across the board we saw an improved focus, energy and attitude in our team during competition and everyday training. We now use Prepare for all of our competition horses, Having our horses feeling their best is important to us and Prepare gives us peace of mind that our horses can perform at the top of their game.

As competitors in a country as large as Australia one of our biggest challenges is keeping our horses feeling happy and healthy when travelling long distances to shows. We and our horses travel around 10,000km every year, often travelling for 10 or more hours to a show. Prepare and Gastri-Tec an essential part of our horse management for long trips, not only for the older horses, but particularly the younger horses who are not used to long hours on the road. It maintains their energy levels and keeps them feeling well so they come off the truck after a long trip in top shape.

As with all showjumpers, our horses’ joint health is a number one priority. Protect keeps our horses comfortable and happy, maintaining their joints, ligaments and tendons. Because of the varying climate in Australia, we cannot always be sure of a perfect jumping surface, being sure that our horses joints are as healthy as possible ensures that our horses are comfortable on any competition surface. This is particularly important for the older horses on our team that are consistently competing at higher levels.

As well as this we always have EquiCoff and Gastri-Tec on hand in the truck ready for any niggling issues that may come along. Being prepared gives us peace of mind and having our vet box filled with BetaVet products makes sure that we are prepared for any situation.

I have used BetaVet for many years now and it is a key part of our ponies preparation. Being in the Show Ring having my ponies healthy inside, helps them look and go their best. BetaVet products are a major part of the stable. 

BetaVet Prepare is my all time favourite for the ponies, both ridden and young stock.  Their coats gleam, they have an awesome topline and they are all so well in themselves.  

I first used BetaVet products about seven years ago for my very noise sensitive pony, Steady Neddy was our saviour and I have been a fan ever since.

Steady Steed is brilliant for the young ones who are a bit anxious come show day and they still have the X-Factor they need for the show ring.  

Cool N Tite is always with me, whether it’s for horses with puffy legs or if they have banged themselves in the paddock or for the riders with sore muscles!

I have used BetaVet products extensively for many years. I used them throughout my successful Dressage Career and now in our Business – Prima Park. At Prima Park we prepare thoroughbreds for sale and also spell horses for a number of High Profile Trainers.

We have weanlings right through to top class racehorses in our care. Providing our horses with the best possible care is an integral part of our business and something we pride ourselves on.

We use BetaVet products, in particular BetaVet Build-a-Bone to assist in our young horses development. Growing Strong healthy bones and joints is essential for them going on to become successful on the racetrack. What I love about the BetaVet products, is that it caters for all needs throughout the Equine industry. We pride ourselves on providing our clients with the very best of care for their horses and BetaVet Products are a part of our peerless attention to detail.

I am Chanel Flyger, 25 year old Dressage rider from Auckland. I have a team of Dressage horses ranging from Youngsters that have not competed yet, through to Advanced Level Dressage.

All my horses have benefited from BetaVets extensive range of products, they all have different nutritional requirements which BetaVet has been able to help with.

I have really enjoyed working with Kate and the BetaVet team, they have fantastic knowledge of their products and they care about the results the horses and riders get from using them.   

It is important to me that all my horses go out whether it be to lessons or competitions in the best possible condition which BetaVet enables.

My horses are all on BetaVet Buildagut, Protect and Prepare daily and I use Flexalot, Steedy Steed and Gastri-Tec when they need it.

Prepare helps maintain the overall wellbeing of my horses, it helps build lean muscle mass and top line and makes their coat super shiny and healthy.

I use Protect for general joint maintenance it keeps my horses comfortable and happy in their work and helps maintain their joints, ligaments and tendons which is essential with dressage horses.

Buildagut improves appetite, gut and intestinal health,

Another great BetaVet product is Flexalot, I use this on the higher-level horses when they are going to hard training sessions. It aids in the maintenance and flexibility of joints and enables greater enjoyment in their work. There is a withholding time on this product, so it can not be used at competitions but is great for help with training.

Steedy Steed is also a great product for nervous spooky horses, it is a calming aid which enables them to stay more relaxed when travelling and out at competitions. My young ones have this when they go out to lessons and competitions.

My current team of horses includes Ngahiwi Frostie (owned by myself and Christine Weal). We recently represented New Zealand at the 2018 Australasian Grand National Showing Championships in Sydney where we placed in top 10 finalists. I know the BetaVet products helped with the amazing way Frostie handled travelling on a plane and competing in such an intense atmosphere. In particular I used BetaVet Gastri-tec whilst travelling and once there, as it helped to keep his appetite up despite the travel stress.
