Houghton has an unrivalled reputation of working with the ‘best of British’ sporting stars and institutions. He is now embracing the world of Ben Pauling, one of the most exciting race horse trainers of his generation. With multiple winners each season, including famous victories at Cheltenham and Aintree, competitive owners are increasingly sending their most talented horses to his Cotswold yard. It is these equestrian super stars, combined with all aspects of training at the yard, which Houghton will now be recording with his oils and watercolours.
