The Camergue Horses

The Camergue horse is an ancient breed indigenous to the Camargue area in southern France--the marshes and wetlands of the Rhone delta.  It is considered one of the oldest breeds of horses in the world.  The horses are born brown but turn white as they age.  

Given M's love of horses, visiting this area was a no-brainer.  This was M's first horse ride and ARose's first pony ride.  I've never seen M so excited when she saw us pulling over at the horse stables.  She was so relaxed on that horse!  (I wish I could say the same for me:-))  After the ride she said this was the best day of her life.  So sweet!!  For the last 3 years all she has talked about is living on a farm when she gets older with her best buddies with horses and all sorts of other animals.  ARose was excited about the pony ride too.  She lasted about 10 minutes:-)
