‘IRREPRESSIBLE’ is a description which could have been coined for Philip ‘Buster’ Gilligan. Buster has the same optimistic outlook whether he gets left at the start, or wins by a distance.Buster and his wife Mary (nee Kane) are very active on social media showing off the fun and games at Mary’s Mooreside Equestrian, near The Naul.

The footage of their three-year-old son Jason and the lovable Shetland Blippi, riding, driving, mowing grass and generally having a ball is a great tonic in these worrying times.
