New Honorary Secretary for NEF
Finance your Mirrors for Training
Mirrors for Training is now able to offer its non-warp Arena Mirrors on finance to businesses. This new initiative makes it easier than ever for riding schools, livery yards, professional riders, saddle fitters and other businesses that use arenas as an essential part of what they do to benefit from top quality arena mirrors. The Mirrors for Training system is incredibly versatile, with the 8ft x 4ft mirrors being suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
“There’s never been a better time to add mirrors for your facility,” says Andrea Miles from Mirrors for Training. “We know our Arena Mirrors are a great investment, but we appreciate that investing in a number in one go can make them less appealing from a financial point of view. Now we’re able to offer finance to businesses that comply with our terms and conditions, our Arena Mirrors are more affordable than ever as the business owner can pay in instalments.”

Calma innovation
Calma is the latest innovation from Equine Answers, the leading online supplements manufacturer.
Equine Answers set out to produce the very best calmer on the market and came up with Calma as the ideal calming solution.
Calma has been formulated to include the very best ingredients making it a very high specification product that is proving very effective with horses from all disciplines.
Most calmers found in tack shops contain very basic, cheap forms of magnesium that are poorly absorbed.
The Equine Answers Calma includes two of the very best but most expensive forms of magnesium in Magnesium Aspartate Hydrochloride and Magnesium AAC.
These two highly absorbable forms of magnesium are combined with secret calming herbs to produce a unique, very high specification calmer.
Calma has been used in the UK and abroad with top racehorses, showjumpers, high level show horses, dressage horses, etc, and is proving the calmer of choice for many riders
whether professional or amateur. Visit
