physical appearance
At first it may seem like a pretty White horse, but the Camargue is actually a black horse. When they are juveniles we can appreciate this dark tone, although when they reach sexual maturity they develop a white coat.
They are not especially big, measuring between 1.35 and 1.50 meters high up to the cross, yet the Camargue has a great strength, enough to be ridden by adult riders. It is a strong and robust horse, weighing between 300 and 400 kilograms. The Camarguese is a horse that is currently used in classical training, as a working breed or horse riding in general.
Character
The Camarguese is generally an intelligent and calm horse that gets along easily with its handler, with whom it quickly acquires confidence.
care
We must provide you clean and fresh water in abundance, something essential for its development. Pasture and feed concentrates are important, if it is based on hay, we must ensure that we offer you at least 2% of your weight of this food per day.
A shed will help withstand the weather as wind and humidity are not favorable for them.
If we assemble it regularly we must make sure that the hooves are clean and have no cracks or are loose. The feet are a basic tool of the horse and not paying attention to the feet can lead to serious problems in the future.
Cleaning your stable is also very important. If you are not careful, it can affect the hooves and lungs. Thrush is a disease related to poor hygiene that can affect them.
Health
must do periodic reviews to look for scratches, cuts and bruises. We recommend that you have a first aid kit on hand to give your horse initial care if necessary.
If you notice signs of illness such as watery eyes or nose and even excess saliva, you should quickly go to a veterinarian for a thorough examination and thus rule out any serious problem.
