Gail Hunter
Australian Show Jumping Champion / Coach / Horse Trainer
This mother of two is one of the world’s greatest show jumpers. She recently started competing again after selling her World Cup Mount to the United Kingdom. She explained, “I am training up a new and hopefully more successful team of horses, all showing Grand Prix potential. I find great satisfaction in training the horses myself.”
Hunter-Powell knows what it takes to make a race horse. She’s been taking horses no one wanted and shaping them into competitive winners since she was 15 years old, and now she has a new secret: Tahitian Noni™ Equine Essentials™.
She explained: “Equine Essentials™ has helped the condition of our horses improve, and Midnight Rock has grown at least an inch! The horses seem to be much stronger after using this product, and strength is a very important factor in show jumping.
“My horses look fantastic, and that’s saying a lot since severe drought conditions make it difficult to find high quality feed that isn’t too expensive. The noni juice seems to be all they need to look and feel well without all the extra feeds most people are using in these harsh times. Equine Essentials is great!
“Also, since using TAHITIAN NONI® Juice myself, I feel healthier and the joints in my hands feel great - I’m able to hold my horses well.”
Hunter-Powell has trained riders who are now competing full time in the United Kingdom and United States. Her son Jake is the youngest show jumping rider in Australia competing at an Equestrian Federation level, and together, they help raise funds and awareness for a charity that encourages riding for the disabled. One of her greatest ambitions is to raise enough funds to set up a horse riding center for the disabled in Hunter Valley. She would also like to represent her country again in competition and maybe even compete in the U.S. or Canada.
Hunter-Powell stays busy with her two sons and their love of horses and football, and we look forward to a successful year of competitions in 2007.
