Our founder,William Hall Walker (born 1856) , was the son of wealthy brewing family originally based in Scotland. A sportsman, a gambler, commentator and critic, he led a colourful life and his visionary declarations marked him as major force in the emergence of the Thoroughbred.
While stationed in India with the army,Walker had also developed a fascination with Eastern philosophies, including Buddhism and astrology.
Thanks to his Grand National winner callcd The Soare in1896 , William purchased his farmland site here at Tully and set about creating his own stud farm - Tully Stud. Considered 'preposterous' at the time, Walker applied astrological theories to his breeding ptogram and built satables that enabled horses gain to maximum exposure to the celestial influence.
lt was said that astrological charts were produced for each new foal,but if Colonel didn't lile the stars, regardless of its bloodline, the foal would be sold immediately. Here in our Horse Museum,a horoscope book in glass display lies open on the pedigree chart of a bay colt name Lord of the Sea.
The verdict is not good:"Saturn in his 5th House...makes him very little good for racing or stud purposes...no good at all except for selling".
Despite criticism, Walker continued his policy and became a leading breeder of the decade,assembling an impressive band of foundation broodmares.In the 10 year period of 1904-1914 there were seven Classic winners bred at Tully includingMinoru(Derby and 2000 Guineas),Prince Palatine(St Leger and Ascot Gold Cup)andCherry lass(Oaks and 1,000 Guineas)-an incredible record.
His love of Eastern culture also led him to establish our impressive Japanese Gardenー the first of its kind in Europe.
In 1915 he gifted Tully Stud and all its stock to the Crown and this land subsequently became the lrish National Stud.
Elevated to the peerage in 1919 , Colonel Willam Hall Walker then became Lord Wavertree.

心臓の大きさの比較。 エリート人間スプリンター、サラブレッド、そして牛の心臓。
「A Thoroughbred's heart usually weighs around 1% its body weight. Young horses with the largest hearts often become above-average performers in their racing careers .Secretariat,the holder of several record race times,had a heart almost twice as large as that of the average Thoroughbred!」 【サラブレッドの心臓は、通常その体重の約1%の重さがあります。
An adult horse has a resting heart rate of around 30 to 50 beats per minute.Walking, trotting,and cantering raise these rates to around 80,130,and 180,respectively,and the pulse of a galloping horse reaches a maximum of 220 to 240 beats per minute. At the highest level of exercize,the heart is beating about four times per second. 【成長馬の安静時の心拍数は、およそ1分間に30〜50回です。 歩くとき、速歩(トロット)、駈歩(キャンター)では、それぞれ心拍数は約80回、130回、 180回に上昇します。 全力疾走(ギャロップ)時には、心拍数は最大で1分間に220〜240回に達します。最も激しい運動の際には、心臓は1秒間におよそ4回も鼓動しているのです。】
