Notes to answerer
Asker: Ah, the penny has finally dropped! I can now see that my initial interpretation of guado was entirely off the mark and you've but me on the right track. Although wading is the correct translation of guado, I decided to omit it altogether and translate as: .... white Carmargue horses in the wetlands Thanks!
