BEWARE!
As Halloween approaches, when the barrier between the world of the living and the dead is thinnest, we are more likely to experience sightings and ghostly energies. Experience the dark and twisted past of Victoria’s most-infamous haunted buildings and hear spine-tingling tales of their resident ghosts!
Our Horses Need Your Support!
Help us keep our horses healthy during this difficult time!
The COVID-19 health crisis and resultant travel restrictions have created a financial challenge for Tally-Ho as we work to maintain our horse care standards during a period of significantly reduced income. We suspended our operations on March 19, 2020, laid off all staff and have been working hard to reduce expenditures where possible and apply for relevant government assistance.
In March, we were facing a $120,000 funding shortfall for horse care. Since then we have received significant support from our community to ensure our beloved horses are well cared for during these uncertain times through our GoFundMe and ‘Adopt a Horse’ campaigns. Through these campaigns and the generosity of people behind the scenes, our fundraising goal has been reduced to $95,000!
Through July to September, as British Columbia moved into a recovery stage and local tourism was once again active, we were able to go back to work. It has been wonderful to be out with the horses again, greeting our locals and the odd visitor! Our local tourism industry continues to struggle, however, and we have significantly reduced our operating hours (we are at about 10% our normal capacity). As we now move into our off-season we are down to about 2% capacity.
Tally-Ho will continue to rely on the kindness of the public to help us care for the horses during the winter season! Ways to support:
-
Book a Carriage Tour!
-
Adopt a Horse – choose your favorite horse to sponsor!
-
Donate through our GoFundMe campaign: For the love and health of our horses!
-
Purchase a Gift Certificate for a private horse-drawn carriage tour in the future!
-
Mail a donation (cheque only, no cash) to: Tally-Ho Carriage Tours, 1960 White Rd, Saanichton, BC, V8M 1V9
