About Bella
Bella lives on her family's Angus cattle property in Mitchell, QLD and makes the 1-hour trip each way to St John's School in Roma by bus each day. Surrounded by horses from a young age, her passion began with her very first pony, a Shetland named Leafy
Showjumping quickly became her sport of choice. Bella says she loves the challenge and intricacy of the discipline - along with the incredible feeling of flying over fences.
Winning the Leg Up Bursary will open doors for Bella, giving her opportunities to train with top riders and coaches. She says it has boosted her confidence and pushed her to step outside her comfort zone.
Bella also shares her heartfelt thanks to the sponsors for their generous prizes and support, as well to the organisers and judges behind the 2025 Edwards Saddleworld Leg Up Bursary.
