Sophie has been partnered with Little Miss Fernhill since 2015, and their outings this year so far include the Hireco Punchestown Horse Trials earlier this month, Ballindenisk International, Lisgarvan House, and Tyrella in April, and Ballindenisk in March.

The pony was foaled in 2007, and is owned by Carol Gee.
