Gabrielle is one of eight riders who will travel to China, with one rider from South Australia, two from Victoria, two from Queensland, one from Tasmania, and one other from NSW.

Highlights of her career include competing at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, Pony Club State Championships in show jumping, and inter-school state championships for show jumping and eventing.
Gabrielle’s ability to ride a of variety of horses with success and to read a horse will come in handy when she has to choose her mounts from a pool of horses provided by Pony Club China.
All riders will leave for China on November 22 for 10 days, and Gabrielle is said to be thrilled to be included in the team as it will be the perfect environment to learn and experience equestrian activities in a different country.
