Camargue ponies are gray in color. Adult horses have black skin underlying the white hair coat.
At the time of birth, these horses have black or dark brown hair coat. As they grow up and become adults, their hair coat gets mixed with white hair, until the entire body is covered with white hairs.
These ponies live in herds and also mate within their herd. However, in some herds, dominant stallions push out the young males. They, then, form bachelor herds and once mature, win a herd of mares for themselves.
Super fact:
Camargue ponies can easily walk for long distances and even withstand extreme conditions. They can also survive without food for a long period of time.
