Not for the faint of heart: Ever wonder what it's like to take up the lines of a pair of our one-ton black and white beauties?  Take the challenge: come and find out.  Tally Ho Shires offers several hands-on 4 day clinics at the ranch in early summer and early fall.  Classes are small, so there is no standing around waiting for a turn to drive and you you will be driving our champion show horses!  If you have a particular preference for one of our show geldings or mares, feel free to reserve that horse or pair of horses for your instruction.  Tally Ho not only offers basic harnessing and driving instruction, we also focus on competitive driving techniques for those students interested in competition. Classes fill quickly, so get your deposits in early.  No matter your age, this is a fabulous activity for everyone.  Mom, forget the super mall, kids, forget the video games, and Granny, forget the quilting club.  Visit breathtaking Colorado and drive a 2000 pound Shire instead. Private party and special group instruction also available.  For a registration packet and more information, email us.

***Disclaimer: the surgeon general has determined that driving Shires can be habit forming and extremely enjoyable.  Many people experience the following side-effects including but not limited to: giddiness, laughter, sheer delight, boost in confidence, shortness of breath, quickened pulse, falling in love (with Shires), muddy boots, hands smelling of horses, hay remnants in hair, dreaming of Shires, and an incessant eagerness to continue driving.  If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, please contact the Tally Ho webmaster immediately: thshire@sopris.net.

Possible Fall Competitive Driving Clinics will be scheduled.
