Tullow is a small breeding enterprise set on 50 acres of fertile pasture, on the outskirts of the historic township of Kilmore. Recognised as Victoria’s first inland town Kilmore was settled in the 1800’s by mainly Irish immigrants, now as then horses play a major role in this area, situated just one hour North of Melbourne and 45mins. from Tullamarine airport.

Our aim at Tullow Stud is to produce sound, trainable stock with the potential to perform.

Using Irish Draught and Irish Sport Horse mares we choose a suitable stallion for each individual mare. Our broodmares are either successful competitors themselves or bred on recognised performance lines. The choice of stallion is determined by type and temperament, conformation and proven bloodlines.

Our breeding programme is based on the traditional mix of Irish Draught and Thoroughbred to produce the ever popular Irish Sport Horse (formerly known as The Irish Hunter.) This part bred has achieved world wide recognition over the decades, consistently producing eventing winners at the great 4 star competitions such as Badminton, Burghley and Kentucky.
