The Tawleed is a Sudanese breed of sport horse. It derives from the Sudanese Country-Bred through cross-breeding with imported blood horses, principally of Thoroughbred stock. It is found mainly in the Khartoum region of Sudan.{{r|cabi|p=505|elise|p2=408|dad}}

It is one of four recognised horse breeds in Sudan, the others being the Dongola or Dongolawi, the Western Sudan Pony and the Sudanese Country-Bred, from which the Tawleed derives.{{r|cabi|p=505}}

History

The Sudanese Country-Bred was bred in the twentieth century by cross-breeding local mares of the traditional Dongola and Gharbaui (Western Sudan Pony) breeds with imported Arab or Thoroughbred stallions.{{r|faocr|p=8|cabi|p2=505}} The Tawleed was the result of further cross-breeding of this with imported blood horses, principally of Thoroughbred stock.{{r|cabi|p=505|elise|p2=408|dad}}

The Tawleed is found mainly in the area of Khartoum.{{r|cabi|p=505|elise|p2=408}} The total population in 2018 was no greater than about {{val|1500}} head.{{r|dad}}

Characteristics

The Tawleed may have a lower tolerance of heat and drought than local Sudanese horses, and a greater need for plentiful water, food and shade from the tropical sun.{{r|cabi|p=505|elise|p2=408|dad}}
