Our primary focus is on preserving the Bankers, a strain of Colonial Spanish Horse from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. However, we also work to preserve and promote the Marsh Tacky, the State Horse of South Carolina. Our program owns two Marsh Tacky mares and Andrew, pictured above with his colt, Pagan, owns a mare, a stallion, and this foal.
The Marsh Tacky is a horse of tremendous historical significance. Southern patriot militia and regular forces during the Revolution used these horses, among others, to slow down Cornwallis' march north and contributed to his ultimate surrender at Yorktown.
