Diary of a

Hedge Hopper

Screams of fear, girly giggles, naughty dance moves,

and a horse called Peanut who's always trying to yeet me over hedges.

Loved by 31,600+ fans

As Seen On

Against All Odds

Everyone told me to put him down.

When Peanut first came into my life, he was written off — vets, trainers, everyone said the same thing. But I saw something in him that nobody else did. One last roll of the dice, one more chance, and it changed everything. Today, Peanut is the sassiest, bravest hedge-hopping partner I could ask for — and together we've built a community of over 31,600 people who believe in second chances.

Peanut & me

I had one more thing to try.

Best decision I ever made.

— Sophie, on how it all started

The

underdog story

From "put him down" to hedge-hopping hero

Peanut was bred for showjumping greatness — but he bucked, reared, spun, and launched every rider who tried. A professional eventer ended up with broken ribs and teeth. He was out of chances. Then I had an idea: take him hunting. It changed everything. Now we're an unstoppable team flying over hedges — and we're just getting started.

Hold on tight, say a little prayer, and hope Peanut doesn't launch you into next week!

Peanut's motto:

Whether you clear the hedge is your problem. Launching you off? That's my job.

The moment that mattered

No one clapped louder than us that day — 4th place,and it felt like we'd won the whole thing.

Because no one knew how far we'd come to get there.

You'll always be

our number one
