A well-deserved holiday for a champ…
The dual Champion Chase winner and Nicky Henderson-trained Altior enjoys his well-earned time off at Hillwood Stud in Wiltshire. The Patricia Pugh-owned gelding made it an impressive 19 wins on the bounce when concluding his season at Sandown with a victory in April, under regular jockey Nico de Boinville.
Handsome, brave, spectacular, intelligent & tough… and a time waster when you have a camera! The Awesome, Amazing Altior has started his much earned holiday! A champion & he knows it #restupspecialman pic.twitter.com/7FPxaYdwG4

Happy out together…
The National Hunt horses at Amy Murphy Racing look happy to be out in the sunshine. The trainer’s season highlights included a Grade One win with her stable star Kalashnikov at Aintree in April.
I think it’s safe to say the National Hunt horses are having a whale of a time out on their summer holidays. ??? pic.twitter.com/knyAtdC6cb

Blue skies and holiday time…
A herd of jump horses at Dan Skelton’s yard graze under the sunshine during their summer vacation. During the 2018/19 season, the trainer became only the second British trainer, after Martin Pipe, to reach 200 winners in a jump season.
