Mitavite announces partnership with Billy Slater
The Hygain Group is very proud to announce the formation of a partnership between Mitavite Feeds and Rugby League great, Billy Slater. Hygain Group CEO Kevin Bareira said, “We couldn’t be happier to have Billy on board. He has fed his horses Mitavite for a long time and has a strong belief in the brand and the quality of the feeds. Together we look forward to leading new initiatives that support the equine industry, sharing knowledge and experience, and having a few laughs along the way.”
Billy Slater has been called the best fullback ever to have played the game by rugby league greats and fans alike. With a glittering collection of personal and club honours, including four grand final wins, five Dally M awards and two Clive Churchill Medals, he has delighted fans of the Melbourne Storm, Queensland State of Origin and the Australian Kangaroos for sixteen years.
Billy and Nicole Slater own and operate Slater Thoroughbreds, a high-end thoroughbred breeding operation. Slater Thoroughbreds acquired world class bloodlines from inception and are already producing high quality youngstock. Billy said “We are passionate about the industry and want to breed the best possible horses. I’m competitive in every venture and that certainly applies to Slater Thoroughbreds.”
Horsemanship is in the Slater family’s blood. Billy and Nicole both grew up riding, competing in gymkhanas and show jumping. A lesser known fact is that prior to his rugby league career, Billy was a track work rider for trainer Gai Waterhouse. A love of horses is something Billy and Nicole have always shared, dating back to when they first met at pony club.
Mitavite has been feeding Australian horses since 1986 and has established a strong reputation for providing outstanding nutritional solutions for horses at every life stage and across every discipline. The team at Mitavite take enormous pride in making use of the latest nutritional science to produce feeds that improve the health, wellbeing and performance of horses.
All the horses residing at Slater Thoroughbreds are fed a Mitavite diet, including thoroughbred broodmares and youngstock, in addition to a rescue horse and beloved pony. Billy and Nicole have a long association with the brand, having fed their horses Mitavite since their pony club days.
Billy exudes strength, commitment and a passion for excellence in everything he does. These qualities are also inherent in the Mitavite brand, making this an ideal partnership. Billy said “As an elite athlete I know how important diet is. It has a direct correlation to health, growth and performance, and horses are no different.”
