The pub is shown on this old OS map from about 1902 (interactive map)
Refurbishment completed in Oct 2013 to a high stylish standard.
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the White Horse's license was issued in 1853. Whether this was when it was first licensed or when it got a full (ie not just beer) license isn't clear, though the latter seems more probable.
An earlier building dates back to at least 1712. The current building opened in 1904 on the same site.
In 1712, licences were being granted at the Pellicane, in East Bergholt and one was agreed for Benjamin Everston at "Whitehorse, Felixstow". The present inn was built in 1904, at the rear of its predecessor."Inns of the Suffolk Coast" by Leonard P Thompson, 1979**
