ALEX WILSON

Alex Wilson, son of well-known equestrian professionals, Scott Wilson and Christi Edelbrock was born and raised in Southern California. He began riding before he could walk at his family’s Scott Wilson Stables (SWS) under the tutelage of his parents, which even garnered him the coveted prize of the Lead Line Winner at The Devon Horse Show at the mere age of two years old.  A successful junior career brought Alex many accolades, among them being Team Gold at NAJRYC Championships in 2003 as well as qualifying and showing at Indoors multiple years.
​
From his success as a junior rider, Alex went on to declare his status as a Professional Equestrian. He worked under Cara Anthony as an assistant for a year before taking on a management opportunity in 2009 with John French at his large-scale operation, Waldenbrook Farm. Alex and John’s partnership brought numerous successes over the course of the next five years. A few of these highlights include:

•  2009 USEF Horse of the Year – Small Affair
• 2009 USHJA International Derby Finals Champion – Rumba
• 2010 $20k Future Hunter World Championship – Small Collection 1st, Small Kiss 2nd
• 2010 $25k WCHR Pro Challenge Winner – Small Affair – Capital Challenge
• 2011 $25k WCHR Pro Challenge Winner – Small Affair –  Capital Challenge

​
Later in 2013 brought Alex to partner and train with the show jumping talent Joie Gatlin for the next few years before taking over his family’s show stables completely in late 2015 . Along the way, Alex has also been able to learn from other top professionals including: Don Stewart, Hope Glynn, Hillary Ridland, and Jeff and Rachel Fields. Additionally, Alex has garnered many trusted European contacts in order to import some of the finest young hunters and jumpers.

At SWS Training and Sales, Alex has culminated his vast knowledge sourced from every aspect of the horse industry to provide one of the most detailed and complete programs that one has to offer. Alex’s attention to detail and accompanying experienced staff members allows for customers to take pride in knowing that their equine has the best care, training, and showing program there is to offer.
