Georgia HB466 designates the marsh tacky horse as the official Georgia heritage horse breed.

Georgia HB466 amends the state's official code to designate the marsh tacky horse as the official Georgia heritage horse breed. The bill highlights the historical significance of the marsh tacky horse, tracing its presence in Georgia back to the 1500s and noting its use by various cultures and communities. Despite a decline in numbers, the breed remains important for hunting and herding. The bill also repeals any conflicting laws to ensure the designation is fully recognized.
