Sophia Hill is a 5***** international equestrian eventer and grand prix show jumper. She has produced her current team of high performance horses herself and campaigns select high level horses for clients.
Sophia is normally based at Bluebell Park near Mansfield in Victoria, Australia. Bluebell Park specialises in breeding performance horses and standing stallions at stud.
For the 2024 season Sophia is based in England to compete in the United Kingdom and Europe with her two top horses.
As an international athlete Sophia Hill has a deep partnership relationship with her horses. She believes in the importance of creating a connection with each horse and achieving a trusting two-way partnership to build the horses confidence and competence.
We have finished Burghley. What an experience and amazing event to end our trip on!
Once again thank you for supporting my eventing campaign in the UK, and the experience of getting to the pre-olympic training camp as a reserve combination.
I am currently on my way home to Australia and looking forward to catching up with everyone.
Thank you all and see you soon, Sophia

If you find high achievers discouraging, look the other way. At 27 years old Sophia Hill is making her debut at Defender Burghley Horse Trials with a 10-month-old baby in tow.

Sophia Hill and Humble Glory the first combination ever, in the history of Wandin to finish on their dressage score at the 4* level!
I first started riding when I was seven years old. My family were living in Italy for three months and there was a riding school nearby. When we returned to Australia I begged my parents for a horse. I got my first pony when I was 9 years old and there was absolutely no going back! I was obsessed, and spent every possible moment zooming about my grandparents’ farm, jumping everything I could find.
