Pataky shared the clip on her Instagram. Set to the tune of Empire of the Sun's "Walking on a Dream," the video opens with various photos of India Rose jumping and completing various circuits atop her horse. She's wearing the appropriate attire, made up of tight white riding pants, a black vest, a white button-up, and a black helmet. More footage shows India spending time with her friends and having plenty of fun while she makes silly faces at the camera.

Pataky also appears in the video, surrounded by her friends and likely the mothers of the other children who are participating in the competition, with all of them sitting around a fire. The clip concludes with a sweet moment between India and her horse, with the animal nudging her repeatedly with its nose and India giggling.

Lastly, India is seen atop the awards podium, where she took the prize for first place in her division.

Aside from sharing a video of the special moment, Pataky also shared a sweet message in the post's caption. In it, she revealed that while India was very nervous, she still competed well and was able to manage her emotions. "We had such an amazing time at the Interschool Queensland State Championship, sharing beautiful moments with all the amazing people who came to the event," she wrote.

And congrats to all the winners and competitors, and cheers to all the parents, we all do everything to support our kids and try to make them happy."
