Despite its small size, the Camargue horse is very buoyant and robust. Its limbs and joints are strong, its thighs are muscular, and its well-attached neck, powerful shoulders, and sheathed back with straight and wide loins give it significant maneuverability. Both docile and energetic, calm and responsive, this horse with a strong identity is a reliable working partner. It is capable of dazzling accelerations at the slightest request from its rider and of equally rapid decelerations. It has gained prestige in recent years and has established itself in many sports and leisure disciplines.
