About Sophia
– Sophia is part of a professional team of eventers and show jumpers to keep me busy. She has competed up to Grand Prix level show jumping and FEI 4 Star level eventing and have the aim of reaching the top in both disciplines.
Sophia is based on a horse property just outside of Mansfield in North Eastern Victoria alongside her boyfriend and farrier, Andrew Hill, where they offer a variety of services to the equine industry, including breaking, training, re-educating OTT TB’s, and campaigning performance horses. Whilst she specialises in show jumping and eventing, she also takes on all types of horses for training, and enjoy working with each individual horse and seeing them progress.
