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.

Irish Draughts and Irish Sport Horses are hugely successful in the show ring, regularly securing major Championships at shows throughout England and Ireland, mainly the hunter and cob classes.
Alongside the production and promotion of the breed we love, at Tullow Stud & Training Centre we also offer the following facilities – a 60m x 20m sand dressage arena, all weather jumping arena and cross-country training course. Lessons and clinics are held throughout the year.
We have a keen interest in Working Hunter classes, regularly judging and hiring out purpose built jumping equipment.
We look forward to meeting you.
Sue and Chris Tufnell
