Magic Millions co-owner, Katie Page-Harvey, "Elsa is the perfect Magic Millions Ambassador for Showjumping. She shares our love of the horse and equestrian sport. Her particular passion for Showjumping made her the perfect advocate and authentic partner for our Showjumping event in January.

"Elsa is just a sensational woman. She has balanced her high-profile acting career and her business interests, while prioritising her family and their privacy above all else. Her passion for horses and equestrian sport are a constant for her.

"Elsa met the entire Magic Millions Ambassador family this week. It was like they had known each other forever. Zara as Patron of Magic Millions Racing Women & Mike with breeding and sales; Nacho & Delfina with the Polo; Billy & Nicole with breeding and racing – and now Elsa with the Showjumping. Gerry and I are thrilled to have such an extraordinarily talented, tour de force of Ambassadors representing Magic Millions.

"It is perfect timing that Elsa joins us as Global Ambassador for Showjumping for the Pacific Fair Magic Millions Polo and Showjumping in 2023 – the year the Magic Millions Showjumping competition offers a prize pool of $1 million. Equally, it was important to us that this was a long-term partnership. Magic Millions has been at home on the Gold Coast for more than 30 years. We will love working together to build the equine industry and the sport of Showjumping in Australia."

"Showjumping is one of my greatest passions and getting that phone call from Katie Page was just a dream come true for me." Pataky said.

"Horse people are passionate, I love the energy and having a way to express and share that with other people who feel the same way at Magic Millions is something I am so looking forward to, and I cannot wait to see it all come together in January," she continued.
