Laurence is the hands-on owner and director of Tyreel Stud. From managing all things machinery to planning and programing the redevelopment of Tyreel Stud pastures, Laurence is responsible for providing a top-notch feed supply for Tyreel’s horses and maintaining the A1 appearance of the property.
Laurence and his wife, Linda, purchased Tyreel in March 2014 and moved onto the property with their two boys in May 2014.
He brings 20 years’ experience in the construction and earthmoving industries to his jack-of-all trades role at Tyreel, and spent his formative years around cattle and dairy farming.
He was born into a long line of farmers and spent his teenage years working on two large cattle properties with his farm manager dad. During this time he learnt the art of cropping, pasture improvement, haymaking, machinery maintenance, fencing, cattle breeding and animal husbandry.
His role of Tyreel is the culmination of his born-and-bred passion for farming and utilises the many skills he built throughout two decades in the construction and earthmoving industries to ensure Tyreel operates at maximum production.
But Laurence is not satisfied to simply rest on his laurels. Rather, he believes in always thinking outside the box and welcomes a broad range of ideas from horse industry professionals to keep Tyreel performing well ahead of the pack.
In his downtime, Laurence loves spending time fishing, boating and riding dirt bikes with his two active young adult boys.
