Wild Horses in Camargue, France
View Original Description
The 'Gardians and Gardiannes ride the little white horses which have lived here since pre-history; bones of the Solutre horses dating from the Paleolithic period (17,000 years ago) have been found in the area.
Camargue horses (often called the 'horses of the sea') canter, swim, splash, struggle and wrestle their way through absolutely anything. They canter on pavements, gallop across fields, plunge snorting into canals, swim, trot and jump all day. They’ll happily splash through the sea, they’ll go forever across beaches and sand dunes, have no fear of flies and mosquitoes, and are not affected by the heat.
