Camargue horse

The Camargue horse originates from the Quanternary Sea native the Solutre horse. The Camargue prefers marshy land and is very resistant to lack of a stable, bad weather, and harsh conditions.

General characteristics of this special breed of horse include its use as mainly a saddle horse in rustic and hard terrain. Adult Camargue horses typically carry a coat that is of a pale grey color. Adults can weigh anywhere between 300 kilograms and 400 kilograms, with a height of somewhere between 1.35 meters and 1.45 meters.

Foal Camargue horses are generally born in the spring and summer months, between April and July. They typically born with a white blaze marking on their forehead, and with a body color of darker grey or black. These horses have most always been used as a saddle horse, though in some cases for leisurely riding as well.
