The Camargue horse is an ancient breed indigenous to the Camargue area in southern France. For centuries, these small horses have lived wild in the harsh environment of the Camargue marshes and wetlands of the Rhône delta. There they developed the stamina, hardiness and agility for which they are known today. The Camargue horse is 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 is a popular and romantic image of the region. CollectA horses are created by Deborah McDermott, a sculptor living in Southern California. She grew up as a typical horse-crazy little girl wholoved horse models and drawing horses. She never dreamed that someday her equine sculptures would be used as the basis of a new model horse collection created by CollectA As a scupltor, she observes the anatomy, movement and expressions of horses as well as their unique qualities that make each horse an individual.
