The Burras trailed at one stage by a whopping 11 goals, but staged a remarkable comeback to earn a long awaited premiership.
Minyip-Murtoa scored the first goal of the game, but the opening quarter belonged to Horsham. The Burras looked rattled by the big stage at City Oval, as Horsham took a 14-5 lead by quarter time.
The Demons continued on the front foot to lead 18-7 early in the second quarter.
Memories of Horsham's 30-goal victory against Minyip-Murtoa two weeks ago began to rise to the surface - but this time, the Burras fought back.
Kirby Knight found her touch with a goal, before Georgia McLennan scored twice to cut the margin to single digits.
The Burras had found their feet, and Minyip-Murtoa supporters found their voice.
It was half time of the football and dozens of boisterous Burras' fans flocked to the netball court, where many were captivated by a scintillating contest.
After trailing by 11, Minyip-Murtoa outscored Horsham 12-3 for the remainder of the quarter in an incredible turnaround.
The Burras completed the comeback and tied the scores early in the third quarter, before rain began to pour and a fierce wind began to howl.
Horsham looked like they adapted quicker to the conditions, and jumped out to a four goal advantage. But Minyip-Murtoa's resilience was again on display, as they fought back to tie the scores by three quarter time.
The rain stopped and the two sides traded goals to open the final quarter, before Minyip-Murtoa gained the ascendancy.
Ashlee Knight, Sheridan Petering, Hayley Campbell and Alex Lang forced several crucial turnovers in the mid-court, while Kirby Knight and Georgia McLennan finished it off with accurate shooting.
The Burras built a five goal lead and didn't let it slip, eventually prevailing 36-39.
Minyip-Murtoa coach Billie Bibby was ecstatic after the match.
"I couldn't be any prouder of the girls," she said.
"I'm in disbelief right now. We were down by 11 goals, and I just said, 'let's just peg it back one game at a time.'
"I don't know what changed - it's just amazing."
It has been a tumultuous season for Bibby, as she tore her ACL and was forced to coach from the sidelines.
Bibby said her first season as A Grade coach had been "an absolute rollercoaster".
"From that injury, we knew we would have to do it the hard way, and that's exactly what we've done," she said.
"We've taken the hard route to win the premiership, but I couldn't have asked the girls for anything more.
"I couldn't be prouder."
It was also a special victory for Alex Lang, who had played in six losing grand finals with Edenhope-Apsley before Saturday.
"The drought is broken - it's unbelievable. I honestly don't believe it has happened," Lang said.
Sisters Kirby and Ashlee Knight also claimed long-awaited premierships after playing in Minyip-Murtoa's one-goal grand final loss in 2017.
Goal attack Georgia McLennan was awarded best on court for her excellent feeding and sharp shooting.
"I don't even know how to put this into words," McLennan said after the match.
"It honestly didn't feel like I was shooting that accurately ... but having Kirby under the ring, knowing I had that safe option and she was getting rebounds, it took the pressure off.
"It's just bloody amazing to win."
