The Camargue is one of the oldest breeds of Horses in the world. The area where the Camargue is bred is contained within a triangle in the south of France. Regional Park was established to protect the horses and cattle of Camargue from human encroachment. The Camargue, often called "the horse of the sea," has existed in this region since prehistoric times. The horses of the Camargue run wild in the marshlands in small herds consisting of one stallion, his mares and progeny. The Camargue is a rugged horse and breeds very true to type -- to the extent that it can be difficult to tell one from another. This horse is lively but has a good nature and when trained to ride is used to
mange the bull herd in the delta as well as provide visitors the opportunity to explore the region by horseback.
