Wild Ones

Wild Ones

In the wild, the white Camargue horses are found only on the wetlands and salt marshes of south eastern France. They are thought to be descended from prehistoric horses that lived during the Paleolithic period more than 17,000 years ago. Throughout history, this ancient breed is believed to have been crossed with several other breeds—particularly Arabian horses. This genetic combination permits these brawny animals to withstand the region’s bleak, cold winter and intensely hot summer. They are so strong it is said they are able to canter through mud up to their bellies!

Usually depicted running through the marsh from the front, I thought I'd try this view from the side, and also make a point of showing them in all of their muddy glory.
