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.

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.

blood horses , principally of
Thoroughbred stock.

[4] : 408 The total population in 2018 was no greater than about 1500 head.

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.
