NONIUS

The Nonius is a Hungarian breed of horse with two strains; one heavier used for light draft, farm work and riding and a lighter strain used for pure riding. The breed originated during the early 19th century and stands between 14.3 and 16.2 hands high and is bay or brown in colour. More recently English Thoroughbreds have been introduced to make the Nonius into first-rate competition and sports horses.
