Tally Ho Tours2019-02-11 15:33:092019-02-11 15:33:14As the Snow Falls…Our Horses Need Your Support!
Help us keep our horses healthy during this difficult time!
Our 18 magnificent draft horses are the heart of the Tally-Ho business and are family: they live with us and have been our daily partners through life. But after laying off all staff and cutting all non-essential costs, our small, family-run business is still facing a significant shortfall of over $120,000 to maintain quality horse care over the expected course of COVID. Our savings will not cover the horsesˊ feed, foot care, veterinarian care, shelter and base needs for long. Only one of the Federal assistance programs applies to our situation and, if we qualify, it will only be enough to cover some non-horse care business expenses.
100% of all support will be dedicated to the best possible horse care at our farm on the Saanich Peninsula.
Ways to support:
- 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
