“As a Competition Nutritionist for the South of England and South Wales I spend my time visiting a variety of yards. My clients are diverse and from all disciplines, ranging from those with young horses in training to those who compete and an Olympic level. All of them have one thing in common; they want the very best for their horses.
I work alongside leading industry experts, such as the GB team vets and trainers, to guarantee my work is part of the overall management of your horses. I use a unique rationing programme for all of my clients including the British team horses, which allows me to examine the nutrition profile of any diet and demonstrate the superior nutritional status of our feeds. I look forward to meeting you and your horses.” Donna Case
Thoroughbred team:
South: Polly Gundry BSc (Hons), leading lady jockey and trainer
