Horses are very ancient animals with a very rich evolution history. They did not have the same body structure a hundred thousand years ago compared to the structure that they have today and at the same time, the total number of breeds has also been increasing in numbers.
Now we have thousands of horse breeds from all over the world with some of them being older than the others, some others have a total number of species per breed, however, they are one when it comes to what a horse represents: peace, Free spirit, and calmness. Today we are going to talk about one of the rarest and oldest breeds in the world, Camargue, horses.
Since the 1500s, the residents of Camargue, France, have been caring for and tending to the rare, all-white horses local to the area. The horses come from a long and storied legacy, thought to date back to prehistoric times.
Marie Pagès, one of the Guardians of the Camargue, has been nurturing her horses for the past 28 years. Sadly, as the population of Camargue horses diminishes, so goes with it the tradition of the horsemen. Still, Marie hopes that the passion that she and her fellow cowboys share for their stewardship will keep their legacy alive. Learn more about them by watching the incredible video below.
