Sophie Hinners: Making Germany proud in the red jacket, inspiring a new generation in the pink one

In this episode of Beyond the Stables, we sat down with one of the most exciting young riders in the sport today: Sophie Hinners.

From representing Germany on the world's biggest stages and competing at the top of the sport, Sophie's rise has been one of the most remarkable in recent time. But as always on Beyond the Stables, this episode is not just about results. It's about getting to know the person behind the rider.

Sophie takes us through her entire journey, from growing up in Germany and dreaming of a career with horses, to taking the leap to the Netherlands, where a six-month plan turned into a life-changing decision. She shares the story of Vittorio, the horse that transformed her career, the lessons she learned working at Stal Hendrix and the experiences that shaped her into the rider she is today. We also talk about Team Germany, the Iron Dames project, life and work alongside Richard Vogel and David Will, and the evolution of her riding.

What stands out immediately when talking to Sophie is her humility, kindness and genuine love for her horses. Throughout our conversation, she constantly speaks about learning, gratitude, teamwork and the people who helped her along the way. Despite competing at the very highest level, she remains incredibly grounded and refreshingly authentic.

Beyond her achievements, Sophie might just be one of the warmest and most genuine people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting!
