It was an amazing "lightening speed" film shoot for all commercials taking in such locations as the Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario Canada to Times Square NYC, to the beautiful expanse of Erfoud & Merzouga in Morocco, the wondrous streets of Paris; then Bangkok and finally majestic South Australia.
The athlete in "Equestrian" was Gillian Rolton, OAM - an Australian former Olympics equestrian champion. She competed in two Olympic Games, 1992 Barcelona and 1996 Atlanta, winning a gold medal in team eventing at both competitions;at both games she rode her horse, Peppermint Grove, named after Peppermint Grove in Western Australia. She was one of the eight flag-bearers of the Olympic flag at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, New South Wales.
What a champion in every sense of the word!
