Warren,

I like the idea of your tacky horse. I have horses, too, and one of them I am 
going to be training to help me around my homestead. He is half Spotted 
Saddle horse and half Missouri Foxtrotter. These were bred years ago to be an 
all-around farm horse- they're sure footed and can travel the ozark hills 
easily and are gaited so will be very comfortable to ride for long hours. 
Mine is only 2 right now, so he's just getting started with learning, but I 
can't wait to use him to get up to my goldenseal and ginseng patches! I don't 
have marshes, but do have rocks and steep hills, so the breed I have is 
well-suited for the job at hand. Good luck with your work horse.
