Nonius horse
The Nonius ((ハンガリー語:Nóniusz)) is a Hungarian horse breed named after its Anglo-Norman foundation sire. Generally dark in color, it is a muscular and heavy-boned breed, similar in type to other light draft and driving horses. The breed was developed at the Imperial Stud at Mezőhegyes, Hungary by careful linebreeding. Originally bred to serve as a light draft and utility horse for Hungary's military, the breed became a useful agricultural horse during the 20th century. The depredations of World War II significantly reduced the Nonius' population, and in the decades after the war, a downturn in the usage of horses in Hungary sent many members of the breed to slaughter. Today the breed is bred by preservationists and is used in agriculture, leisure riding, and competitive driving sports. The largest numbers of Nonius horses are still found at Mezőhegyes, with representatives in other eastern European nations as well.

The chest is broad rather than deep, and is usually more shallow than the hindquarters. The hooves and joints are large and the legs are dry.〔 Nonius horses stand between . One of the heaviest warmblood driving horses, the ideal Nonius has a girth measurement of and a cannon circumference of .〔〔 Nonius horses are also known for a kind, even temperament and great willingness and capacity for work both in harness and under saddle.〔 In addition they are usually easy keepers with high endurance.
