This year we are expecting 6 foals on the ground so if you or someone you know are in the market for a great allrounder, get in touch with us. We usually have a good selection of horses available for a multitude of disciplines.
We have had the Country Calendar here at Tiraumea Sporthorses for over a week in June filming for the upcoming episode on the 26th July. It was fantastic having the film crew here, they even came up to Cape Campbell to film on one of our hunting days, hopefully they got some of the incredible scenery on offer there as well as some good hunting coverage. We wish to thank the team from Country Calendar for the wonderful opportunity of showing Tiraumea Sporthorses to the greater equine community.
