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 significant financial challenges for many businesses. In Victoria, we rely on tourism for 95% of our income; however with international travel at a stand-still our income has been significantly reduced. As a small, owner-operated, nimble company, we have been able to reduce our operations to fit the current demand; and create new experiences for our locals! Despite our best efforts, we operated at only 15% our normal capacity in the 2020 tourism season. As we move into winter with negligible income, we must continue to find resources to help cover horse care costs of over $10,000 per month.
It has always been our commitment to ensure our horses have the best care possible. They are family and an integral part of our lives; and are beloved friends to our staff and local residents. We are enormously appreciative for ongoing emotional and financial support that has been shown to our team (horse and human)! Tally-Ho will continue to rely on the kindness of the public to help us care for the horses during the winter season!
