"But what I love about this photo is how it captures her strength. She was a strong, beautiful, phenomenal woman who just loved everything and everyone.

“She would get as much joy from having a Greggs tea on the way home from the gallops as she would teaching a client in the pouring rain or jumping and galloping around biggest courses in the world. It was just incredible to be at your side and feel this energy.“I’m so proud to be your husband. Rest in peace, my beautiful girl."He said: "I don’t want this to sound like a thank you speech, but there are some people that I’d like to acknowledge and thank.
