THE shock felt throughout the equestrian community on hearing that Philip White of Maddybenny had died in the early hours of last Sunday morning, is nothing compared to the devastation felt by his family at his sudden death.

All would wish to extend their sympathy to his wife Eavan (with whom he had recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary) to his daughter Tegan (White McMorrow) and son Jack, their respective spouses Cian and Courtney, and grandchildren Tom, Cora and Alfie. Philip is also survived by his brothers Ian, Fred and Tommy and his sister Anona.
