The special bond she has with her Australian stock horse mare Binnia Mojito, owned by Shamil Livestock Urunga, resulted in them winning Champion Local Rider, Champion Local Hack, Champion Novice Hack, Reserve Champion Open Girl Rider, and Reserve Champion Ridden Breed.
As well as riding on her family farm with her mother and sisters, she has been a dedicated rider with her friends at Valery Trails, Bellingen Pony Club and Bellingen Riding Club.
Jade hopes to combine her love of horses with a career by joining the NSW Police mounted division when she finishes school.
