So While I couldn`t sleep last night I was looking at a list of breeds of horses originating in the United States, when I came across the Carolina Marsh Tacky, a beautiful Small breed of horse, here is a little bit about them From Wikipedia.


 


The Carolina Marsh Tacky or Marsh Tacky is a Rare breed of Horse, Native to South Carolina. It is a Member of the Colonial Spanish Group of Horse Breeds, Which also includes the Florida Cracker Horse, and The Banker Horse of North Carolina. It is a small Horse, Well Adapted for use in the Lowland Swamps of it`s native South Carolina. The Marsh Tacky developed from Spanish Horses brought to the South Carolina coast by Spanish explorers, Settlers and Traders as early as the 16th Century. Horses were used by the Colonists during the American Revolution, and by South Carolinians for farm work, Herding Cattle and Hunting Throughout the breeds History. 


The Breed is Considered to be Critically Endangered by both The Livestock Conservancy and The Equus Survival Trust, and there are only around 275 Marsh Tackies in existence Today. In 2006 and 2007, Two Organizations worked together to complete DNA Testing on the breed with goals of mapping the Marsh Tacky`s Place among the Horse Breeds of the World and Beginning a Studbook. In 2007, an Association was begun with the objective of preserving and Promoting the Marsh Tacky; and in 2010 a Closed Studbook was Created.

Looking to start another breed. Maybe these guys if we get them?

and Bump. 

Sometimes I wonder if they are actually along the same string of the Chincoteague Ponies.

I don't have the means to right now, but I'd be interested in breeding them in the future.
