Jo Davis Racing has seen countless horses come and go, but few have presented as much of a challenge as Jolly Bay. Known for her spirited nature and stubborn behaviour, Jolly Bay had a reputation at Jo's yard. Despite her achievements on the track, including wins last summer and at the beginning of this summer, managing and training Jolly Bay was no easy feat.
Jo and her team faced ongoing difficulties with Jolly Bay's training regime. The filly's unpredictable eating habits and frequent digestive issues meant that Jo had to repeatedly halt her training to administer Omeprazole. This cycle of stopping and starting was not only frustrating, but disrupted Jolly Bay's potential for progress. As Jo explains, "We were always having to stop with her, get her onto some Omeprazole, and wait until she started eating, and then carry on again."
The introduction of MonoShield Equine marked a turning point in Jolly Bay's journey. This equine supplement, designed to support digestive health, has been a game-changer for the yard's operations. After incorporating MonoShield into Jolly Bay's routine, Jo noticed an incredible transformation. "She’s the nicest, kindest filly now, where before you’d be ducking her legs and teeth," Jo shares. "If you tried to tack her up, she’d be trying to savage you."
Jolly Bay's behavioural improvements were paralleled by physical advancements. Now on MonoShield Equine, "she doesn’t miss a day’s cantering," Jo notes, highlighting how the supplement has allowed Jolly Bay to withstand hard training without the setbacks she once faced. Gone are the days of struggling with her dietary intake; now, after vigorous gallops, Jolly Bay returns to eat with enthusiasm, a testament to her enhanced well-being.
Jo Davis recognises the profound impact MonoShield has had on Jolly Bay and her overall training regimen. "She’s a completely different horse to before she went on MonoShield," Jo asserts, underscoring the drastic changes in both demeanour and health. Jolly Bay stands as a shining example of how a well-tailored supplement can revolutionise horse management and training outcomes.
Jolly Bay’s transformation is not just a success story for Jo Davis Racing but also serves as a beacon of hope for other trainers facing similar challenges. "She’s testament to how much difference it can make to a horse," Jo affirms, encouraging others in the equine community to consider MonoShield Equine as a viable solution for equine digestive issues.
At Jo Davis Racing, MonoShield Equine has become an essential component of their approach to horse care, helping each horse to achieve their peak performance.
