Tally Ho Tours2020-08-14 12:55:072020-08-14 12:55:07Farrier Fridays – TrimmingOur 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!
Now, as British Columbia moves into a recovery stage and local tourism is once again active, we are thrilled to be able to come back to work even though we will only be operating at less than 15 percent capacity this summer.
Tally-Ho will continue to rely on the kindness of the public to help us care for the horses during the upcoming off-season! Ways to support:
- Book a Carriage Tour!
- Join us on a Sea Cider Picnic Experience!
- 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
