THE BEAUTY OF HORSES
CAMARGUE HORSES AT A GALLOP

Fascinating photos reveal extremely rare moment white Camargue horses race along France's Rhone River 
  • Xavier Oretgas Ojuel photographed a herd of rare white horses galloping through saltwater at sunset
  • The animals are native to the region where they've long lived in several ranches along the Rhone River
  • Camargue is a relatively remote natural paradise, located near Arles, along France's southern coast

  • The animals belong to several ranches along the Camargue, a natural region located south of Arles, France


    The images are slightly blurred due to the horses' quick movements

    The photographs, taken at sunset, capture the horses between the Mediterranean Sea and the two arms of the Rhone River delta

    'I love seeing horses like this - running free in the wild,' photographer Xavier Ortega says


    The horses slow to a walk once their leader has decided he's tired of running in the calm waters
