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.

CAMPAIGN IN EUROPE COMPLETE

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

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.

  • I started competing in my teens and progressed through the ranks while building a horse training business.
  • After years of dedication to horses and riding I committed to the professional pathway – now competing professionally with my team of top level eventers and show jumpers.
  • I have competed up to Grand Prix level show jumping and FEI 5 Star level eventing and look forward to further competing at this top level internationally in both disciplines.
  • Currently my top horse is Humble Glory, who is eventing at 5 Star Level. Humble Glory, or Hughie as we call him, is an absolute superstar. Within 18 months of me acquiring him as an off the track thoroughbred, he won the Australian Young Rider Championship at Adelaide 3***. Within 2 years he had multiple 4**** wins to his name. Then in 2023 he stepped up to 5***** for a podium 3rd place finish at Adelaide Equestrian Festival, which is the only 5-star International Horse Trials in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • I am currently competing in England with Humble Glory and Seattle Park.
