Story Behind The Name
Tally-ho is the traditional cry made by the huntsman to tell others the quarry has been sighted. Dating from around 1882 it is probably derived from the French “taiaut”, a cry used to excite hounds when hunting deer. Taiaut may have originated in the second half of the 13th century by the concatenation of a two-word war-cry “taille haut” – the original meaning approximates to ‘swords up’.
The word “Tallio” is used on the logo of the Sinnington Hunt, which is one of the oldest Hunts in the United Kingdom.
