What is a Marsh Tacky Horse Race? A marsh tacky is a type of horse that was used in the Low Country to plow and do farm work. The people would race the horses on the beach to determine who had bragging rights to the fastest horse. Today the races are a major attraction on the Hilton Head beach. There was a huge crowd today as Jan Trabb and I watched the races. It was a gorgeous, sunny day and lots of fun to be part of the crowd cheering on the horses and riders. The little lab at the end is training to be a service dog.
