Extinction is forever... The time has come to stop thinking of
horses like the Carolina Marsh Tacky as a "rare" novelty and
begin looking at them as an endangered animal. Many Americans
have no idea that so many historical horse, pony and donkey
breeds teeter on the brink of extinction. North America has
viable breeding populations of over 25 different such breeds.
Some are foreign and some are pure American. Sheer numbers will
not save them. It requires sound breeding practices and good
stewardship to keep the gene pools viably diverse and the breeds
usefully productive. As we begin to build individual breed pages
over the summer of 2008, we invite you to browse our site and
learn about the various breeds. Find out how each is unique, how
these breeds are anything but museum pieces, and why they are
endangered. Most importantly, learn how you might become
involved as an owner, future breeder, volunteer or financial
supporter of some of the rarest equines in the world.IRS
