Throughout the years their breeding has been based on usefulness, so the resulting animal is incredibly versatile and easily adapts to different disciplines. <\/p>\n<p>Today these animals are rare, even in Hungary. However small herds of them can be seen running free on the grasslands where they have been raised for centuries. There are also a small number of purebred Furioso horses in Romania and Slovakia.<\/p>\n<h3>Features<\/h3>\n<p>Average height 15.2 &#8211; 16.3 hands<\/p>\n<h3>Physique<\/h3>\n<p>Head is well shaped and proportionate with a straight profile<br \/>\nNeck is straight or slightly arched and muscular<br \/>\nBarrel is deep and well sprung<br \/>\nLegs are well defined with clean, strong joints<br \/>\nThey are often pigeon toed in front with cow hocked hind legs<\/p>\n<h3>Traditional Colors<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/colors\/base\/chestnut\">chestnut<\/a> | <a href=\"\/colors\/base\/black\">black<\/a> | <a href=\"\/colors\/modifiers\/bay\">bay<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Temperament<\/h3>\n<p>Easy to work with<br \/>\nDependable and true<\/p>\n<h3>Use<\/h3>\n<p>Cart horse<br \/>\nRiding horse<br \/>\nShow horse<\/p>\n<h3>More Images<\/h3>\n<div class=\"grid-two\">\n<div class=\"grid-two-one\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/furioso-horse.webp\" alt=\"Furioso Horse\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-two-two\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/furioso-north-star-3.webp\" alt=\"Furioso Horse\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-two\">\n<div class=\"grid-two-one\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/furioso-north-star-2.webp\" alt=\"Furioso Horse\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-two-two\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Video<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rH2WeLGjTeo?si=qsrM68UmSmGfuJPy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w46jZyoY8Ck?si=cYUhomGTi05Ah-Ir\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intro The Furioso-North Star or Furioso is a medium-heavy harness and saddle type horse that is highly adaptable and crosses well with other breeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8304,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89,54],"tags":[126,5,4,118,11],"class_list":["post-589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hungary","category-romania","tag-at-risk","tag-bay","tag-black","tag-brown","tag-chestnut"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=589"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8310,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589\/revisions\/8310"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
