Carmargue Puppy!!

First, you need to know that there are ponies living in the marshes of the Carmague region of France.

The Camargue is an ancient breed of horses found in the Camargue area in Southern France. For centuries, possibly thousands of years, these small horses have lived wild in the harsh environment of the wetlands of the Rhone delta, the Camargue marshes, developing the stamina, hardiness and agility for which they are known today. They are the traditional mount of the gardians – the Camargue "cowboys" who herd the black Camargue bulls used in bullfighting in southern France. Camargue horses galloping through water are a popular and romantic image of the region.<-snurched from Wikipedia


Middle Georgia has its own version: Camargue Puppy!!!
