Appearance
The camargue Horse has a compact and hardy stature, primarily standing at a modest 13 to 14 hands high. The breed's defining characteristic lies in its unique coat, which is predominantly gray, often white in appearance as the horse ages, but always born black or dark brown. The mane and tail remain short and usually unkempt. Broad, robust shoulders and a deep chest suggest strength, while its relatively small head, bearing expressive eyes - typically brown in youth and lightening with age, projects an aura of serene intelligence.
Behavior
Camargue Horse exhibits a calm and resilient temperament, well-suited to harsh environments. Well-socialized, they nurture strong bonds with their herd, showing a cooperative nature. With high trainability, they readily respond to stimuli and cues. Their health and mood can be inferred from changes in sociability and responsiveness.
