The M'Bayar is a breed of small horse from the historic region of Baol in Senegal, in West Africa.
[4]: 261 The M'Bayar may either be an autochthonous breed with ancient origins in the area, or may be a descendant of Barb horses from the Maghreb countries to the north.
[1]: 37 In the twentieth century the breed was influenced by Barb horses imported from Mali, Mauretania and Morocco; the pure-blood Arab and Anglo-Arab stock at the Centre de Recherches Zootechniques of Dahra have also had an influence.
[6]: 101 The M'Bayar is a small stocky horse, broad in the chest and short in the neck.
Consumption of horse meat in Senegal is very low, for religious and cultural reasons, but some carcasses are sent to a specialised butcher's shop in Dakar.
