Le Cheval Camargue présente les caractéristiques d’un bon cheval de selle. La robe est toujours grise, bai ou rouan à la naissance. Elle s’éclaircit avec l’âge et peut devenir truitée ou mouchetée. [...] Le Camargue est un cheval sobre, vif, agile, courageux, très endurant. Il est capable de résister aux longues abstinences comme aux intempéries, et de réaliser de longues étapes. [...] Il est d'abord l'instrument indispensable du «gardian» pour la surveillance des troupeaux de taureaux, son frère complémentaire dans l'univers camarguais. [...] Il est aussi destiné à la selle, pour l'équitation de loisir et le tourisme équestre où son caractère doux, sa taille et son endurance sont appréciés des amateurs de randonnées équestres. 1, record 5, French, - Cheval%20Camargue

Camargués [...] Toma su nombre de la región de La Camargue, en el sur de Francia. [...] Unos los utilizan los ganaderos de la Camargue para conducir a las manadas de toros negros de la región, otros se emplean como caballos de alquiler para hacer recorridos turísticos por el delta. [...] Los potros nacen de color negro, castaño o tordo oscuro, con los años la capa se va aclarando volviéndose tordos claros o casi blancos. [...] Dadas las condiciones climáticas extremas de la región, los caballos de esta zona tienen que ser robustos y resistentes. Se alimentan de pasto duro y agua salada. Una vez atrapados y adiestrados, son excelentes como caballos de silla. Son fuertes y viven muchos años. 1, record 5, Spanish, - camargu%C3%A9s
