Tiraumea Bounty was Zala’s 2004 foal, a beautiful bright bay with four stockings and a blaze.  Bounty is a full sister to Tiraumea Donegal (above) and is showing huge potential achieving great results as a 3 year old at the Horse and Pony in-hand show. Bounty is now excelling in jumping winning consistently at A&P level.

In 2005 Zala had a lovely grey colt  foal Coachman by Tiraumea Flint.   He is now 4 and just started competing  in dressage with his very first test achieving the great result of 66%.   We look forward to following Coachman as his dressage/eventing career develops.

Zala was put to Ironman and in 2008 produced a very pretty filly called Lacey.  Presently Lacey is still at Tiraumea, we are considering retaining her to incorporate her into our breeding program.  However we do invite expressions of interest from competitive show-jumping homes.

T.Grey Way's first brush jump! 2009

We were absolutely delighted with this very upstanding colt, Gentleman George’s final foal.  He is a full brother to Tiraumea Donegal (above).  Tiraumea Grey Way will be retained by the stud as a future Stallion to continue this most successful jumping line.  He has incredible bone, great conformation, we expect him to mature 17HH+.   This cross has produced exceptional type sports horses. We will  keep this page updated on how this young colt develops.

 

2011 Foal is an identical filly to Coachman above.  She will be retained by the stud.
