Meet Our Brand Ambassador: Alexander Osborn
We are delighted to introduce Alexander Osborn, our passionate and accomplished Brand Ambassador at SSADL. Alexander’s journey with horses and his dedication to the equestrian world make him a truly invaluable member of our team.
Having proudly completed the SSADL series and qualified for prestigious finals such as Hickstead and the London International Horse Show 2023, Alexander is no stranger to excellence. Representing SSADL at these iconic events was an incredible honor, one he embraced with immense pride and gratitude. His success and enthusiasm embody the very spirit of SSADL.
Alexander’s appointment to the SSADL board by the amazing Clare Frost was a testament to his commitment to the organization and its values. Taking on the role of Brand Ambassador and running the SSADL Facebook page has been a source of great pride for Alexander, who thrives on supporting others and helping them succeed. His love for senior horses, combined with his drive to empower and inspire, reflects the welcoming, family-like atmosphere SSADL fosters. He is quick to express his admiration for Clare and Trevor Frost as well as Ann Kirk, describing them as incredibly professional, ethical, and compassionate Team who make the SSADL community truly special.
A Lifetime of Achievement in Equestrianism
With a background rooted in showjumping, Alexander has achieved remarkable milestones, including representing England twice and earning a gold medal. He began riding horses at the age of 16 and has since cultivated an impressive career producing horses, from elite showjumpers to show horses. His transition from showjumping to showing was driven by a deep love for the discipline, and his passion for the sport has only continued to grow. Recently, Alexander has felt a rekindling of his love for showjumping, which complements his accomplished showing career.
As a judge on several esteemed panels, including SSADL, Alexander brings expertise, integrity, and a deep understanding of the sport to his role. His dedication to the equestrian community is unwavering, and he takes great pride in promoting the welfare of senior horses and fostering excellence in showing.
A Multifaceted Career
Beyond the equestrian arena, Alexander’s professional background is equally impressive. Beginning his career as a professional model at 17, he worked across the fashion industry for over two decades, gracing editorial spreads in top magazines like OK! and Cosmopolitan. His work extended to television production, where he contributed to numerous films and television projects as a researcher and assistant producer, traveling the world and building a wealth of experience.
In addition to his equestrian and media accomplishments, Alexander is passionate about property renovation, a pursuit he finds both fulfilling and creatively challenging. His well-rounded career reflects his drive, creativity, and versatility.
Advocate for Animal Welfare
A devoted animal lover, Alexander is the proud patron of Hector’s Greyhound Rescue, an organization close to his heart. With five rescue dogs of his own, he is deeply committed to animal welfare and firmly believes in placing their care and wellbeing above all else. His heartfelt connection to animals and his unwavering dedication to their welfare further illustrate his compassionate and ethical nature.
A Bright Future with SSADL
Alexander Osborn’s exceptional background, passion for senior horses, and dedication to helping others thrive make him an extraordinary asset to the SSADL family. His infectious enthusiasm, wealth of experience, and heartfelt commitment to the equestrian world reflect the very best of what SSADL stands for.
