Philosophy

Beginning with the end in mind

At Tinnakill House we aim to produce foals and yearlings that sell well but also perform with distinction on the racetrack. We raise our horses to be tough, healthy, sound and genuine.

We begin with the end in mind – in making our mating plans, ensuring optimum fertility during the breeding season, managing the mare during pregnancy, and closely supervising the growth and development of our foals and young stock.
