Fouta is a breed of horse from Senegal in West Africa. It is a combination of other breeds like the Fleuve and M’Bayar all of which are again West African horses. Basically all these are barb horse by bloodline and were crossed with ponies to get the final result. Experts believe this could have happened by natural selection and not selective breeding. A Fouta is also commonly referred to as Foutanke in the local language.

They also have Arabian blood and adopt many qualities of the Arabian horses. Among horses it is very difficult to exactly pin point their original bloodline unless a registry was maintained. There are several horses today that have some of the best qualities and they were created through natural selection in which case no records were available.

The Fouta is a light horse comparatively to the usual barbs and this is probably because one of their parents could have been a pony. And they have a strong frame which comes as a result of their Arabian ancestry. This combination overall gives the horse the ability to pull heavy cart loads all day. They also do not get stressed due to heavy loads. Some horses when made to pull heavy loads constantly can suddenly give up and topple the cart. This horse displayed an amazing power for daily labor. In Senegal these horses still provide a means of livelihood and they have not been influenced to such a great extent by the west. Overall these horses also managed to maintain their individual blood line so far because they are still in much demand in their home country at least.
