Marsh Tacky Horse

The Carolina Marsh Tacky's history dates back to the time of  the Spanish in the 16th century. During colonial times, the Marsh Tacky had developed as a distinct type of horse and was used for transportation,  farming and hunting. The breed was known as being able to tolerate the marshy swamps and the biting insects of the low country.
