The Camargue that we know today is not a lot different from the horse that in prehistory inhabited the south of France. From then until the days ours the delta of the Rodano has had to adapt itself to an ambient one little accommodates them which, with extreme climatic conditions also and perennially to bath in the marshes. The nature therefore has forged the strongest animal with sturdy short legs and much adapted to the heavier lands, with the hardest hooves that guarantee an exceptional resistance to the humidity. The cape gray in the adult guarantees the best protection against the beams of the sun, while the dark cape of the young person assures optimal dowries of mimetismo with the land. Animal much frugale, it has learned to feed themselves of grass salmastre and to browse also under the surface of the water. Of lively but calm character, it has learned to save much energies, you are not astonished therefore if when does not work it appears always drowsy and apathetic. Conceived in order to survive, the only threat of extinction has come from the man, Hour this tendency seems is stopped and in the last few decades it has been assisted to the rebirth of the race and its dissemination in all the continent.
 
  Horses & 'Gardians'
 
  The recent history of the Camargue horse is made of hard job. 'Work instrument' of the gardien (literally 'attendant'), has passed the last centuries within and outside from melmosi ponds, to the eternal pursuit of bovines that give those pleasant swamps did not want just to exit. The more important use that it has been made of the Camargue horse is just the conduction of herds of tauruses from combat. Warning for 'conduction of gaggle' we are not believed next to the calm one transport of hundred of quiet bovines to which much film western they have accustomed to us. The Camargue Taurus is much warlike ruminative one that stretches to worry much as soon as it comes moved from its calm mud puddle. Imagined therefore how much can be complicated and dangerous the job of the gardien. In the centuries the gardien a series of systems and means for being able have processed to manage these restless herds. A lot in order to begin has taken a saddleback Spanish and a wi de series of modifications has brought them creating saddle in which the knight practically it is embedded, in order better to sopportare the difficult necessary maneuvers to the job with the cattle. A series of delicate mouths has then created all not sure and on which I would fly over a lot gladly. Moreover they have invented the tridente, analogous stick to the picca Spanish but more short and equipped, at an extremity, of it aims them in iron with three stocky tips. They have then built up of the arenas in wood equipping them of corridors and heavy doors for being able to divide and to address the bovines. The horse in all this confusion has ended obviously in order to slip in flat second, but we do not forget that it in the job with the cattle has always put us all himself same. Been born in the swamp, eating elbow to elbow with the turbulent black cousins, it has developed an enormous one ' cow-sense' that the door until assaulting the bovines, than just they learn to fear it and to avoid it. It is not badness but simple instinct, spirit of survival developed in the millenia of wild life. That same instinct of ago still today an exceptional horse for the job with the cattle.
 
 
Sport & Leisure, or 'the beautiful life of the sporting horse'
 
  Today the good Camargue more often is used for 'all uses'. A life that compared to the one they used to leave in the past, is sure easier and quieter. In Italy, as in the rest of Europe, it is practically used in all disciplines, both in western style and in classic style. Also here the typical camarguese style is more and more spreading, with its rules and its traditions, and with its little championship, like for every discipline. The most gratifying 'job' for them,
remains the one of the 'paddock horse', role in which it expresses all its best.
