Who I Am & What I'm Doing I am Gisele, a former U/16 National Champion and dedicated dual-athlete from Phillip Island. I’ve been selected for the Australian U/18 Team to compete at the 2026 World Mounted Games Championships in France. This high-octane sport involves vaulting onto galloping horses and racing without stirrups at 40km/h.

Why I Care Mounted Games has taught me resilience and discipline. Balancing intense football training for Gippsland Power with training my new pony, I’ve learned that "grit" defines a champion. Representing my country is a dream I’ve worked toward for years.

How I’ll Make It Happen This journey is self-funded, requiring $10,000 for international flights, entry fees, and performance horse hire in Europe. I am following a professional elite-athlete protocol—tracking diet, sleep, and fitness—to ensure I am world-stage ready. Your tax-deductible support fuels my mission to bring home the Gold for Australia.
