She had reportedly told Gold Coast Magazine: “Although I've lived most of my life in the city, I have a deep and unmoving love for show jumping. My family aren't quite sure where this passion came from, but I've been horse-riding since I was 3 years old and can't imagine my life without it. I travel to rural Sydney 2-3 times a week to train and compete around New South Wales or broader Australia every other weekend.''
Meanwhile, tributes from friends, family, and colleagues in the modelling industry flooded social media, with many expressing their condolences.
