SOUTH CAROLINA MARSH TACKY FRANCIS MARION

Today we met with a large group to trail ride through Francis Marion National Forest. Francis Marion was known by the British as the Swamp Fox, he actually rode Marsh Tackies here and defeated their Calvary during the American Revolution. It was a part of an expedition led by Tom Mullikin and the South Carolina 7 to travel the entire Palmetto Trail with the purpose of bringing attention to the seven natural wonders of the Palmetto State and creating a dialogue about conservancy and actionable steps towards conservation. It was great riding with everyone. Thanks to Shannon and Ashley of Hawkins Heritage Farm for providing the accommodations so I could participate!

HORSEBACK RIDING ON THE BEACH DAUFUSKIE ISLAND
  • October 15, 2018

Finally! It’s time to put sand in our stirrups again. Due to county ordinance, horses on the beach are only allowed between October 15 through March 15 each year due to sea turtle nesting and the general increase in beach going tourists on the island. Our beach riding adventures are tailored to our guests to ensure an experience that is worthy of every equestrian’s bucket list.

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