Sharing the exciting news on Instagram, Ryan posted a snap of Emily flashing her new bling with the simple caption: "Yeehaaa ❤️".
The post has been flooded with congratulatory messages from friends and followers.
"I thought it was the right spot to do it – she loves the horses and she often swims in the dam," he told Woman's Day.
"I did get nervous though. The [ring] box was making a bit of a bulge in my pocket. So either she knew I was proposing or she just thought I was happy to see her."
Ryan proposed to Emily with a trilogy diamond ring that features two smaller diamonds that symbolise Emily and himself while the larger central diamond represents their love.
