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."

From Wikipedia: "The Carolina Marsh Tacky or Marsh Tacky is a rare breed of horse, native to South Carolina. Its ancestry can be traced back for over 400 years, but today there are very few representatives left and it is considered an endangered breed."
