  • The Brotherhood of the Camargue Horsemen, also known as gardians or ‘cowboys of the Riviera,’ have tended to the distinctive white horses of Camargue since the 1500s. Living deep within the Camargue Marshland and far from any metropolitan area, the gardians have earned the trust of these horses, and their lives revolve around the tradition of caring for them. These are wild animals “born from big spaces” and the symbiotic relationship of the gardians and horses has had a huge impact on shaping both of their identities.

    This man has lived his passion and been a "guardian" for over 30 years. Who of us can say we have done the same? I am humbly grateful to those who dedicate their life to protecting those who cannot speak. A selflessly beautiful act that represents the dreams of man... whose souls long to live freely, as the horses of Camargue.

    They're really very beautiful, pretty and gorgeous horses. I like Camargue horses from France 🇲🇫 very much as they're very tough, strong and hardy horses surviving in the wild areas like beaches, marshlands and also forests. Thanks. 😃🐴🐎❤

    France is the most visited country in the world but very few will visit the region of Camargues. You have to go because it's unique in the world ...

    I wonder how their hooves are kept healthy, given the marshy environment and water and wet sand ? Perhaps the Guardians round them up and tend to all their hooves ? Wonderful video, the horses are so beautiful. 💕🌈🌿

    Horses on the Camargue by Roy Campbell died 23 April 1957 (aged 55)
    In the grey wastes of dread,
    The haunt of shattered gulls where nothing moves
    But in a shroud of silence like the dead,
    I heard a sudden harmony of hooves,
    And, turning, saw afar
    A hundred snowy horses unconfined,
    The silver runaways of Neptune's car
    Racing, spray-curled, like waves before the wind.
    Sons of the Mistral, fleet
    As him with whose strong gusts they love to flee,
    Who shod the flying thunders on their feet
    And plumed them with the snortings of the sea;
    Theirs is no earthly breed
    Who only haunts the verges of the earth
    And only on the sea's salt herbage feed-
    Surely the great white breakers gave them birth.
    For when for years a slave,
    A horse of the Camargue, in alien lands,
    Should catch some far-off fragrance of the wave
    Carried far inland from this native sands,
    Many have told the tale
    Of how in fury, foaming at the rein,
    He hurls his rider; and with lifted tail,
    With coal-red eyes and cataracting mane,
    Heading his course for home,
    Though sixty foreign leagues before him sweep,
    Will never rest until he breathes the foam
    And hears the native thunder of the deep.
    And when the great gusts rise
    And lash their anger on these arid coasts,
    When the scared gulls career with mournful cries
    And whirl across the waste like driven ghosts;
    When hail and fire converge,
    The only souls to which they strike no pain
    Are the white crested fillies of the surge
    And the white horses of the windy plain.
    Then in their strength and pride
    The stallions of the wilderness rejoice;
    They feel their Master's trident in their side,
    And high and shrill they answer to his voice.
    With white tails smoking free,
    Long streaming manes, and arching necks, they show
    Their kinship to their sisters of the sea-
    And forward hurl their thunderbolts of snow.
    Still out of hardship bred,
    Spirits of power and beauty and delight
    Have ever on such frugal pasture fed
    And loved to course with tempests through the night.

    And the sound of a crow... shrieks loud, but fades by this word, to pattern tranquility.... through the water, a fall brief and turned to cut through, the mist of mighty waterfalls come to call... the falling... was that into place? The rus...tic form of grace-GIPW?

    moving video and magnificent beings. but don't like seeing them branded. does not seem part of respect. but maybe i don't understand it completely

    • @prunerd4744
      @prunerd4744 Před 4 lety

      A lot of the branding is made with cold now, which is less painful and leaves a cleaner mark. These horses have to be branded because they live wild, so the branding helps to know which horses belong to which "manade" (property).

    @wheretf_isghost5505 Před 7 lety +2

    He was too big for some of those horses. I'm not criticising him but they aren't big animals. Also horses should be disciplined but 'severity' is not needed

    • @megaalvon5946
      @megaalvon5946 Před 5 lety

      Agreed!

    • @prunerd4744
      @prunerd4744 Před 4 lety +2

      The word he used isn't severity, it actually translates to "firm" :)
