[citation needed] Despite the fact that she won ten medals in Paralympic Equestrian, Sophie Wells is allergic to horses.

[1][3] She was named as the first reserve rider for Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, China, but withdrew when her horse, Touchdown M, was found to have a tumour on his foot.

At the 2010 World Equestrian Games held in Lexington, Kentucky, United States, she won gold medals in both the individual and freestyle grade IV events.

[4][5] Wells's result helped to secure a gold medal for the British squad, which also included Sophie Christiansen, Deborah Criddle and Lee Pearson, in the team championship.

Wells coaches many para and able-bodied clients, including Georgia Wilson (2019 European Gold and Silver medalist, 2020 Paralympic double Bronze medallist), Erin Orford and Izzy Palmer.
