01. Alex Hempleman
- Role:
- Owner
Alex began his show jumping career alongside show jumper Grant Cashmore and has subsequently enjoyed nearly 15 years of successful competition.
He has competed at many of the best young horse shows multiple times which we all aim for including Lanaken in Belgium, at the World Breeding Championships, Horse of the Year Show in Birmingham where he finished 2nd in the Newcomers Final 2018 and also huge success at the Young Horse Championship Show Addington EC, Buckinghamshire.
Alex established Hempleman Equestrian’s showjumping yard at Stonehouse Stables, in rural Cowfold, West Sussex, in 2009. He continued show jumping full-time but also set about breeding and producing top-class sport horses. Together with his wife Kendall and his long-standing Yard and Stud Manager Matt Fribbens, he now turns out young stock to an extremely high standard, all the while developing and investing in the fantastic facilities they have built amid the 34 acres surrounding the yard.
Alex and Kendall married in September 2019, combining their vast joint of knowledge, life experiences and their passion for horses into a very successful and constantly growing business.
