The Furioso-North Star is a horse breed developed in Hungary at the Mezőhegyes stud farm.
The Furioso breed averages 16 hands (64 inches, 163 cm) in height[2] and is predominantly bay, liver chestnut or black.
[citation needed] Once a popular breed in neighboring Romania, the Furioso-North Star is now said to be endangered there.
The first was a Thoroughbred stallion named Furioso, foaled Hungary in 1836 and who, beginning in 1841, was crossed with local Hungarian mares.
[4] The second was another Thoroughbred stallion, North Star (foaled 1844),[5] who was imported from England in 1852, who was also crossed with local mares and possibly with horses of Norfolk Trotter descent.
