Band of Rebels: White Horses of Camargue

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.
