Racehorse trainer and point-to-point champion Richard Woollacott took his own life after discovering his wife was having an affair with a jockey, an inquest heard.
Mr Woollacott, 40, was found dead in a barn at his north Devon home in January 2018.
About three weeks before he had discovered a series of sexual messages to his wife Kayley on Facebook, the Exeter inquest heard.
Mr Woollacott had also been struggling with depression and pressures of work, the inquest was told.
Devon assistant coroner Alison Longhorn recorded a verdict of suicide.

Britain's earliest rabbit has been found at a Roman palace - a discovery which
reveals that the animals arrived in the country 1,000 years earlier than
previously thought.
Rabbits are native to Spain and France and it had been thought they were a
medieval introduction to Britain, but this fresh discovery has pushed that
timing back by more than a millennium.
Radiocarbon dating of the bone, which was unearthed at Fishbourne Roman Palace
in West Sussex, shows the rabbit was alive in 1AD.
The 4cm (1.6in) segment of a tibia bone was found during excavations in 1964
but it remained in a box, unrecognised, until 2017, when Historic England
zooarchaeologist Dr Fay Worley realised the bone was from a rabbit, and genetic
analyses have proved she was right.
Academics from the universities of Exeter, Oxford and Leicester carried out the
analyses.
Quote Message: This is a tremendously exciting discovery and this very early rabbit is already revealing new insights into the history of the Easter traditions we are all enjoying this week. The bone fragment was very small, meaning it was overlooked for decades, and modern research techniques mean we can learn about its date and genetic background as well." from Prof Naomi Sykes University of Exeter
