Raw footage of the Marsh Tacky races Sunday, February 22, 2009, on Mitchelville Beach, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
From The Island Packet: "Fifteen marsh tacky horses raced on the brown, wet sand of low tide at Mitchelville Beach as part of the island's Gullah Celebration. It has been more than 40 years since the short, stocky breed has galloped beside Port Royal Sound, the revival of a longtime Gullah and native islander tradition."
