Ally Henderson was killed when she was struck by a bull.
Three months on from their daughter's death, David and Dorothy Henderson say they hope the tragic accident that claimed Alexandra's life will not stop other young people from seeking a career in agriculture.
Alexandra Henderson was 19 in late July when she was struck by a bull in cattle yards at the farm where she worked near Esperance, in Western Australia's south east.
Alexandra's death is one of four which have occurred on West Australian farms in the past six months with a fatality near Mingenew on Monday.
Alexandra had been studying equine science at Charles Sturt University at the time of her death, a subject her parents — Dorothy and David — said she was passionate about.
In the wake of her passing, the family has sent up a scholarship fund for students passionate about animals and wanting to study a subject such as agriculture to head overseas as part of a work placement program.
"So what we've done is worked with [CSU] to establish a memorial scholarship so at this stage there's enough in there to contribute $1,000 towards a student going and working on a program in Africa as part of their equine science or agriculture or wildlife management course," Mrs Henderson said.
"We just thought it was something that Ally would want to do," Mr Henderson said.
Mrs Henderson said Alexandra was a happy girl, who loved working on the farm.
"She'd just arrived at a very happy place in her life," Mrs Henderson said.
"She was studying something she wanted to study, she had her horses going where she wanted to go, she was working somewhere where she really enjoyed working and the people there really respected her and she really respected them."
"It was a sunny morning and she literally tripped out of the house to go to work.
"She was off, happily off and that's something to hold as a very special thing because at 19 years of age, to be that happy is pretty good."
She said on the day of Alexandra's accident, she assumed that her daughter had simply broken a bone as she was "the accident prone child" but she wasn't expecting what faced her when she arrived at hospital.
"I got into town and was immediately met with people that she worked with and friends, very good friends who were all just there," she said.
"And ultimately I knew that was an indication of a serious injury because there was just this support crew there already, amazingly supportive hospital staff and an incredible medical team who were working on Ally.
"And the care and the love that was there was unbelievable, it was quite overwhelming."
Mr Henderson has been working stock for four decades and said Alexandra was an experienced stock person.
"We've always worked with animals, we've always had lots of animals and Ally especially with the horses she was particularly good at it and she loved to be with them," he said.
"We've always worked stock together, I've been working stock here in Esperance for 15 or so years and as little tackers they always came out and helped on the horses and in the yard and so most of their lives they've been working stock with us."
The Henderson family farm is close to the property where Alexandra's accident took place and Mrs Henderson said it was just that, a tragic accident.
She said given that Alexandra had competed in horse riding events her whole life, injury involving animals was something that had crossed her mind, but not when working cattle.
"I've been signing disclaimers for horse events for years, ever since Ally could ride so there's always a thought in your mind that they can get hurt," she said.
Mr Henderson said he hoped the accident would not discourage young people from getting into agriculture.
"No I wouldn't dissuade people and I think it's important for people to go out and follow their passion," Mr Henderson said.
