Get up close and personal with the Tally-Ho draft horses!
Tally-Ho is celebrating our 120th anniversary of providing horse-drawn services in Victoria! What a better way to honor the stars of our show, the horses, by getting back to the basics of why we love these amazing, strong, goofy animals!
For over 6,000 years, horses have worked alongside man, building our communities and influencing history. They are known for their intelligence, patience, and calm demeanor and have a proven ability to help us heal and move forward during difficult times.
Traditionally, the powerful and strong draft horses were used for heavy work such as farming and carrying knights into battle. Today, our draft horses live more peaceful lives, using only a fraction of their actual power and receiving topnotch care.

Have you hugged a horse today?! It is well known that horses have an amazing ability to connect with humans on a deep, emotional level. This is a rare gift and we are honored to be able to share this experience with our guests. From the moment you touch your horse’s soft muzzle, run your hands through his beautiful mane, and feel the silkiness of his coat, you will know you’ve met a friend for life.
This ‘behind the scenes’ experience provides a unique, hands-on opportunity to feel our horses’ energies and learn about their lives.
Your personal guide will tailor this tour to your interests. Some of our guests are looking to spend the full hour being close to their horse; others may wish to add in a short carriage ride. It’s your choice! We encourage all guests of the Grass Roots Experience to come with questions and be prepared to get your hands a little dirty !

We guarantee you will fall in love with their warmth and charm!
Throughout the afternoon guests will have ample opportunity to meet the horses, experience their unique characters and hear their personal stories. The Tally-Ho farm team will walk you through a day in the life of the horses, provide hands-on time with them, and answer all your questions about how we ensure they are living their best lives!
Bring your questions and ideas on what you would like to see or learn about! At the end of your visit to the farm you will have time for any unanswered questions and an opportunity to say good-bye to the stars of our show – the horses!
