Since Marsh Tackies are small horses, do they tire easily?
No, Marsh Tackies have an amazing ability to keep going when other larger horses may tire over the same terrain. This may be due to their gait and conformation. The Gaited Locomotive Research Program at Mississippi State University is currently studying the gait of the breed to get a better understanding as to why these horses can work or be ridden all day without the horse or rider tiring.
