  • December 5, 2023

It’s a filly! Last but not least, for the time in our program’s history that we have had multiple foals in one year, meet Rosa, the sixth Marsh Tacky foal to be born on Daufuskie in decades. Her dam is Barrier Island Carolina Girl (Tacky Blue x Star) who has been a huge part of our trail ride program since she joined us in 2018. This is her first foal with us, and the second foal in her entire broodmare career. We are in love with watching how all three foals are bonding, interacting and socializing with each other!

Here we are enjoying a little hack around the grounds at Rose Hill after an exciting day with Pegasus Riding Academy participating as a charity beneficiary for the 2021 Polo for Heroes event. DMTS’s three Marsh Tacky mares Mama, Carolina and Roxie all participated in the Parade of Breeds during the opening ceremonies, then they shined in Pegasus’ Special Olympics riding drill demonstration, lastly no one came unglued when the skydiver carrying our colors landed in the polo field from just overhead! Great day!

DAUFUSKIE DEER DRIVE MARSH TACKY SOCIETY
  • December 14, 2019

A long standing annual tradition, our deer drive takes place every winter in the Oakridge and Webb Tracts. Generations of grandfathers, fathers and son hunters come over together with shotguns and hounds to cull our deer. If left unmanaged they become over populated and start to display poor genetics and diseases. All of the harvested deer is processed and surplus venison is donated to the community. Our job on horseback is to pull downed deer from the woods where trucks or ATV’s can’t reach. This was Flaca’s first hunt and she did amazing.

PALEMTTO BLUFF MEET A MARSH TACKY DAUFUSKIE ISLAND
  • July 3, 2019

Longfield Stables at Palmetto Bluff welcomed Daufuskie Marsh Tacky Society back for a second year of the Meet a Marsh Tacky Event over 4th of July weekend. This year we were lucky enough to spend the entire week complimentary at the Bluff because of the barge schedule which restricts when we can come and go from Daufuskie. We all had a wonderful time and the horses did not want to leave. We rode the obstacle course demonstration again and this year we rode the horses in Palmetto Bluff’s 4th of July parade through Wilson Village. Mandy and Roxie were amazing amongst the crowds and over the top decorations! Thank you to everyone at Longfield and the Bluff for a wonderful week.

The culture, history and heritage that the Marsh Tacky represents belongs to all of us and it should be celebrated by everyone!
