HOLLIE DOYLE has married fellow jockey Tom Marquand – with an inflatable horse invited as one of the special guests.
The sports stars tied the knot at a village church in Herefordshire.
Tom Marquand and Hollie Doyle have tied the knot after around ten years together
They have been engaged since 2020, and have been together for around 10 years.
The couple first met as teenagers when they were competing on the pony racing circuit.
They now have over 1,400 winners combined, with Doyle becoming a trailblazer for women in the sport of horseracing.
The 25-year-old came fourth in the 2020 Flat Jockeys’ Championship – the highest position a woman has ever finished.

Doyle said yes to long-term boyfriend Marquand, 24, on New Year’s Eve after being together for around ten years.
The pair posted swimsuit selfies from St Lucia, an island in the Caribbean, showing off her ring to mark the occasion.
The photo looked an idyllic scene for the happy pair who have taken their sport by storm.

Doyle has opened up on her SPOTY nomination and being thrust into the national spotlight.
She said she was honoured to be nominated for the award but felt it was a “little bit of shame” that she felt she got put forward because she is a woman in a male-dominated industry.
Doyle said: “I know other jockeys around me have achieved a lot more and probably deserve to be nominated for something like that over me.
“I found it a little bit of a shame that the only reason I was probably nominated was because I was a girl.
“Because what I have achieved in our industry being a female is unique.
“I found that a little bit of a shame that people probably thought the only reason I was nominated was because of that.
“But I took it all in and it was incredible really.
“I do realise what I achieved was pretty significant and I appreciate that. There’s a lot more I want to do to top that.”
