Beautiful to see horses living free as they should, they do not need to be told how to be horses and having no predators makes for an ideal life for them. Thank you for this video, I truly enjoyed it. Here in the U.S. we still have some mustangs, descendants of Spanish horses, but alas they do have natural predators such as wolves, coyotes mountain lions, and the most dangerous of all, man, who feels the need to round them up, pen them, and then sell them because of course local ranchers need the horses' territories to feed their own cattle and sheep. It's the dirty end of the stick the horses get here, sold into slavery. Having tasted true freedom all they will have of it is memories. ❤❤❤🐎
Ecosystems are meant to be balanced, not to support unrestricted population growth. Prey species whose populations aren't controlled by predation are an environmental disaster. The cascade effects of eliminating and then reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone are just one example of what happens when predators are taken out of the equation. Yes, it's true that colonial land use patterns are no good for feral horses, but our insistence on releasing them into the wild while we systematically wiped out the animals that prey on them has also done them no favours. No, a horse being turned into a carnivore's lunch is not something I enjoy thinking about or want to see. I have, though, been forced to watch a horse die of starvation, which is also a brutal way to go and lasts a whole lot longer. When it happens in an environment that the horses have degraded through overpopulation, other species (which are genuinely wild!) are also suffering and being put at risk by the consequences of the horses' unchecked population growth. At the end of the day, feral horses are a human-created issue. Management strategies have to take on-the-ground reality into account. Contraception programs are expensive and complicated to carry out; leaving them alone to proliferate isn't an option. To me, being reintegrated into human society seems better than the other available choices.
They need to round up wild horses so they don't overpopulate and run out of food.... And I'm pretty sure all the horses that are "sold into slavery" really appreciate not having to worry about their next meal and having a safe place to sleep.
I do agree completely with both replies, but partially with the OP too, because millions of horses are abused and neglected in the US, literally in slavery. A great many of them are formerly "wild" Mustangs. It's a complicated issue.
@@cattymajiv Then you have an issue with animal abuse, not with mustang management per se (the way Joanne does). Also, it's in very poor taste to qualify abused horses as 'enslaved' when American law still explicitly allows the enslavement of actual human beings.
A post of high quality, photography almost 'better than" nature, so clear, water images are a pure marvel...cycle of seasons and seasons of life....Compliments to the person who spoke the narrative to us; thank you. One very small regret: I did not see snow or fierce mistral scenes...but I lived them there, so I still vouch that this film is excellent.Sincere thanks.
These documentaries are so darn well researched and edited -the narration is human (Yea!!!), and beautifully voiced and written. Thank you - everyone of you, for producing them. :) 🌷🌱
As a person that loves animal I love this video because you kiss you and put you in the seat and watch how these miraculous animals are able to survive
Thank you for this beautiful moment of sharing horses life in the camargue. I would like to see once what about when a horse dies naturaly, what do they do ? I mean it would be interesting to see if they have a ritual or something ?
1:04 they’re all of them white! I didn’t know about these horses. Just beautiful both when they’re just one or in a herd, galloping with abandon or leaping and kicking - so free! :) 🎠🎠🎠🌷🌱 To some western Indian Tribes, white animals are sacred and are called spirit buffalo 🦬 or spirit bear 🐻, but also called ghost horses by other Indians.
Great photography, but it was so upsetting to never see that newborn foal latch and get milk. In fact, we saw a lot more video of him trying to forage grass while his mother still had plenty of milk. Logically, i guess he must have gotten some, but it seems strange that all we saw was the mother kept moving around while the baby kept trying to get under her to nurse. 😢
You're right, especially the way they do it. It's cruel and barbaric. The way they go about it is extremely cruel too. Mainly, the way they scare them so much by subduing them like that is probably the most terrifying part for the horses, and it will leave mental scars that will be hard to overcome, or even impossible, although the branding iron is VERY cruel too. Ear tags hurt less, like ear piercing, but these dumb people would still subdue the horses same way for that. I was angry at how they suddenly force saddles on the horses backs too. The unnecessary cruelty is sickening. Whenever this was filmed, that atrocious treatment is shameful, when the rest of the world knows better and has known for a long time, and most horses are trained with kindness. There is no excuse for cruelty and wild horses can be trained without it, exactly as tame ones are, as many videos here on YT show us very clearly. There is very little branding of Mustangs in the US and Canada. It's just not necessary.
@@cattymajivever seen how mongolians/steppepeople handle and train their horses, specially the endurance training is damn cruel. I think you'd go straight to their embassy with a protest sign.
Ear tags get cut out pop in you ear tag and the livestock is yours. Branding is the ONLY way to permanently mark high value livetock( environmentaly or economically). I'll remember the agony next time I get my sun cancers burnt off. I bred high value livestock and sheep for 20 years so have knowledge of types of animal marking. Eartags get lost, removed to deidentify the stock( so dead stock can be dumped on road verges or lay-bys) or re-tagged and claimed as the thief's own to breed or sell and even microchips can be removed and the stock ear tagged or the microchip replaced. If the wild horses of the Camarge are branded they can NEVER be sold,and anyone having one in their possession would have a lot of explaining to do. As to the training method, watch U tubes Clever Cowgirl. Amazing and almost identical.
Do they really use such archaic methods of training horses, causing such unnecessary fear? WHY, when the rest of the world knows better? It's completely unnecessary to put them through the torture of branding, and forced saddling all at once like that, when it can be done slowly and gently. Shame on them!
They are dangerous creatures .. better they stay in the wild as people have been killed and crippled by this beast. Don’t know why people try to ride them and keep them .. we humans should try to avoid going near them
Lucky horses - what a joy to see them in a beautiful nature

Hi Joanne, how are you doing? Hope you’re good?
Thank you for the post! I absolutely love horses. I can’t ride any more because of back injuries. 😔 I can still groom them. ✌🏼😊
Gorgeous, Beautiful horses... ❤❤❤❤
Such an excellent job in every aspect- knowledge, photography and voice are all perfect.

Thank you for this beautiful moment of sharing horses life in the camargue.
I would like to see once what about when a horse dies naturaly, what do they do ?
I mean it would be interesting to see if they have a ritual or something ?
Thank you just keep watching maybe in the near future !! :)
That's how all of them should live.
It would be nice if at the beginning of each production we were shown a map of the locations.
Kiang the wild horses of Ladakh region of Himalayas are also beautiful wild horses and like these only of one colour .
1:04 they’re all of them white! I didn’t know about these horses. Just beautiful both when they’re just one or in a herd, galloping with abandon or leaping and kicking - so free! :) 🎠🎠🎠🌷🌱

I never knew there were a horse species where their coats change as they grow
White horses are generally born black. Same with the white horses of Lipizan.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
All is one
This was filmed using a 640 by 480 low resolution potato !

good job people off France now wolf anymore there in the Camargeuc

i still do not agree with branding....

If this is your young stallion he has the wrong brand ☀️from the one you showed being put on him,all bunkum!!😂
So what?
God help protect our usa mustang
These horses are under attack everywhere in usa
