M’Par Horse Facts & Information (Breed Profile)

This type of horse is the smallest of the Senegalese breeds, and it is in danger of becoming extinct since it is progressively being assimilated into the M’Bayar breed.

There is no documented evidence of the origin of horses in Senegal.

Some people believe, including the author Georges Doutressoulle, the M’Par may be an indigenous breed with ancient ancestry in the area.

René Larrat, on the other hand, thinks that the horses of Senegal are descendants of Barb horses that evolved in the Maghreb countries that are located in the north of Senegal.

Nonetheless, horses play a significant part in the social and economic life in Senegal.
