David White is the stud manager of Vinery Stud in Scone, New South Wales.

Originally from Ireland, David grew up with horses and loved show jumping and watching legendary trainers like Vincent O’Brien.

Working in the thoroughbred industry was an obvious choice for David who grew up 40 minutes from Coolmore.

He first came to Australia in the late 1980’s and has travelled with history-making stallions like Danehill, Fairy King, Thunder Gulch and Last Tycoon.

David worked at Ra Ora Stud in New Zealand before moving  permanently to Australia to work for Coolmore again in 1996.

Dave loves the health and vibrancy of Australian racing and particularly enjoys watching progeny of Vinery stallions go on to be winners. He believes that even though work on a stud can be tiring and  the hours are long, that the rewards are worth it.
