At some time in most animal health pros’ lives, a love of animals is born. It may have been a puppy or kitten, but for some, the horse was their inspiration. For renowned photographer Drew Doggett, a passion for horses developed, particularly with breeds that have overcome difficult circumstances or have an interesting lineage.
The horses of Camargue fit that perfectly. We think you’ll enjoy the photography and story of this feral horse whose lineage dates back to prehistoric times.

Doggett discovered something else during his time in Camargue; an equally primordial co-existence of horse and human. For as long as the horses have roamed the Camargue, so too have the gardians. Known as the “Cowboys of the Riviera”, gardians have harnessed this feral breed to round up the local bulls.
