The late Philip Schofield retired p to p rider

[proudwilliam]

I was saddened to hear of the sudden death of Philip Schofield from the south west who died this week,
Philip was the father of Nick Schofield the very good jockey who takes after his father and is a natural.
Philip rode many point to point winners and I believe was champion. He was so talented and totally in tune with horses. He coached Nick over many years.

My condolences go to Nick and all his family.

I used to know Phil fairly well and we always had a chat if we bumped in to each other. He was a superb horseman and was so proud of Nick.
R.I.P. old friend. You'll be missed x

Sad news, he used to ride point to pointers for a friend of ours many years ago.
R.I.P. Philip
