At the time she competed on The Bachelor, she was employed as a social worker living in San Francisco.
Three months after the finale, Horst and Baldwin called off the engagement.
Controversy
Although the contestants are contractually obligated not to reveal the results of each round of elimination since the show is taped ahead of broadcast, various unsubstantiated media reports in advance of the final rose ceremony alleged that Horst revealed herself to be the winner. Horst later denied that she had been the source of this information. Some bachelorettes who were eliminated earlier in the series predicted Horst would be the successful recipient of the final rose.
