Your Help Is Needed
The Carolina Marsh Tacky Association needs your help with a very important bill. S.1030, a bill to designate
the Marsh Tacky as the State Heritage Horse of South Carolina,
has been introduced and is currently residing in the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Carolina Marsh Tacky Association believes that the Marsh Tacky should be the State Heritage Horse because the breed played an important role in the history of South Carolina, is unique to the state, and state horse recognition would help to maintain the historical and preservation efforts of this endangered breed. Having the Marsh Tacky as the state horse would be beneficial to SC tourism. (more)

This is understandable and raises an excellent question. In response I would like to offer the following observations as to what one looks for in a state horse. (more)
